Show Me the Article You're Most Proud Of And I'll Read Every Single One of Them

Giorgi Kobaidze on September 10, 2026

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 read...

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 !

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!

This one's my pick! It's the AWS Networking Fundamentals piece on VPC, subnets, IGW/NAT, and the whole SG vs NACL split. I actually gave up on this concept the first time around, went back and learned networking fundamentals from scratch just to understand why any of it worked, then came back to this. The moment it finally clicked visually (stateful vs stateless, and why that changes the rules for each) was the best "oh THAT'S why" moment I've had in this whole learning journey. Would love your take on it.

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.😆
