I can start by sharing my favorite article on DEV this year.

@itsugo Made an article about how students learn more after graduation since we are all so focus on getting good grades at school and not realizing that there are important skills outside of school that we have to do, but can't since we are so busy.

It was also the first time I met Aryan and is my first follower on DEV! :)

Hope you still be around here sometime!!

I’m really curious to see what Devengers becomes when that countdown finally hits zero! 👀

For my recommendation, I’d pick Anthony Max’s “I created a catalog with embeds for your projects 💎”.

@anthonymax

It’s an open-source project where you can showcase OSS projects, developer tools, services, and more in a catalog format. There actually aren’t that many good places dedicated to discovering and showcasing OSS projects, so I really like that Anthony is trying to solve that problem with OSS itself.

I’m actually building something in a similar space too, so this project gave me a lot of inspiration 😸

Definitely worth checking out!

Wrote this one in response to a DEV burnout post in one sitting.

Totally unplanned.

Nice achievement you have here Francis. I too am looking to work on my portfolio. Don't just know when yet 😩😅, but still procrastinating it for now lol.

My favorite article that I have read so far will be this one from @hemapriya_kanagala

Thank you Francis for the public notice! People need to be careful, cuz the 12h window means that they'd act before verifying. Worth noting too, that any automated messaging from DEV.to is done via Sloan, eg. posts flagged as AI generated, etc. there is no DEV Supports (also, it would be Support, not Supports). Clearly someone thought they were being clever masquerading, I just hope nobody fell victim.

Fair, dont want anyone judging you where it counts 😂 But remember, the whole point of post for review, is so you can get feedback and grow? Even an incomplete, imperfect one is ideal, that way you dont commit too deep, before someone gives you a pointer you resonate with.

Dont do what I do, dont gatekeep till you think it's perfect, cuz then all feedback is seen as criticism and you miss out on feedback for all that time you were polishing. Cuz if I had released Dwarven Stronghold back when it just used emojis, it'd probably be live now, instead im over 10m LOC in and it'll only run once the next 1k files are all updated (another 1m LOC), eventually enough is enough to start with, it doesnt have to be flawless day 1.

I send to Jem in the comments where they got rid of the others, but they havent responded yet. So idk, atleast the comment got flagged, which means they're hopefully looking into it.
