I Write More Than I Read
I used to read a lot on DEV. Then I started writing my own articles, and somewhere along the way I stopped reading nearly as much as I used to.
I want to fix that. There are so many good writers on here that it's genuinely overwhelming, and I'd rather be reading them than not.
The Rules
Doesn't matter if you're a veteran tech writer or you published your first post last week.
👉 Pick one article you're most proud of. Just one. It doesn't have to be the community favorite or the one with the most reactions, pick the one you love the most.
👉 Drop the link in the comments.
👉 Optional: tell me why it's special to you. One paragraph is plenty.
I'll read it and give you my honest feedback. I promise! 🤝
Why Bother
Maybe your favorite post never got the attention you thought it deserved. Maybe it got plenty, and you'd just like an excuse to share it again.
Either way, it's sitting in your archive and nobody's read it in months. This is a chance to put it back in front of people.
And it works both ways, read what other people drop in the comments. That's the whole point.
Showcase your work, appreciate everyone else's.

I guess I am third (let's keep that trend going @georgekobaidze and @unitbuilds lol)

This post I am really proud of because it made onto the official dev.to community resource page: dev.to/help/community-resources
Also got a badge for that as well. :)
Trying to refine the article to make the most of DEV for beginners. Looking for feedback is nice (haven't got feedback in a long time actually). Was hoping for another set of eyes to look into it! :)
I gotta tell you, if I'd had something like this when I first joined the community, I'd have been a lot more active from day one. Great work @francistrdev !
I think I remember this one, let me check again 👀
Definitely a must-read for anyone new! @plaidscientist This 1 is good to read and get a feel of things!
Thanks @unitbuilds on it!
Guess I'm 2nd. A simple question lead me down a rabbit hole... Now I have 2 ongoing projects, an IDE and a Single Address Space OS. It's probably my longest running projects and they've pushed me to really rewriting practically everything from scratch. But this 1's special, because it's where it all started...

Oh wow, this one looks really deep and complex, I'm gonna take my time to read and analyze this. I'll get back to you in about a day or two 😄
I'll go first. I wrote this for the GitHub Copilot CLI challenge, and it's still my biggest win. I built Metal Birds Watch, and it made me dig deeper than any project before it, not just the code, but the maths and the geographic coordinate work behind it. It was an enormous amount of effort, and I was in bad shape for most of it. I'm still not sure how I got it finished. Which is probably why I'm so attached to it.

Hi @georgekobaidze Here's something I wrote after I walked away from the computer and realized I had an idea I wanted to come back to while on vacation A Builder in Paris: Do Devs Dream of Électrique Chats? I appreciate you being open to reading. Writing and editing an article is difficult enough especially when it accompanies a build! But this is a good reminder to give back and engage. Thank you!
My humble story. Probably my best-compressed version of just discovering who I've been. After writing it, it felt like I was reading a post written by someone else. 🤔

This is my personal favorite piece from my older series. I tried not to dumb down the villain artificially, yet it didn’t get much engagement. It marks the first appearance of character P, the protagonist in my ongoing Thirty-Six Stratagems series. Looking forward to your thoughts, hahaha.😆
