I’m in my first year of MBA, and my exam is on Wednesday. I haven’t been able to study much yet, and I’m feeling really stressed. I’m worried about my performance. I really want to prepare well and achieve a good score in my exam.

Good Luck on the exam

Chris Jarvis • Jul 20

Take some deep breaths too help calm down and reduce stress. Maybe take a walk.

Good Luck on the exam!

Thank you so much @jarvisscript I’ll try to relax and not stress too much. Hopefully the exam goes well.

Well I plan to finish making the version 1.2 of a project I am currently working on called Snooper, I am making it with python. I also plan to learn how to use the Rich module for better display output in this project. And finally I just plan on writing the last of my National Examination Council (NECO) papers this week.

I recently came back to building my personal blog about technical writing. This week, I'd like to finish my first post about API documentation. The intro post will cover the basics, such as what an API is and the different types of APIs.

I'd also like to start drafting my next post on DEV. Already have some ideas in mind 🤔

FrancisTRᴅᴇᴠ (っ◔◡◔)っ • Jul 20

Looking forward to it!

Also, side note, I am thinking of creating a DEVengers discord server if you are interested. It's an idea I have in mind, but thought it would be nice to have.

Klaudia Grzondziel • Jul 21

I am personally not using Discord, but I know many people do. Maybe a poll would give you some clue about how many DEVengers would join? :)

Soumya Ranjan Behura • Jul 21

Good idea!!

Soumya Ranjan Behura • Jul 21

All the best.

Thanks Klaudia :)

Take a proper week off — empty my mind, stop staying up late, and read more.

Pascal CESCATO • Jul 20

I plan to improve the SEO/GEO aspect of my websites—in terms of performance, they all score between 97 and 100 out of 100, but when it comes to visibility on search engines and LLMs, we’re nowhere near where we need to be; I’m practically invisible!

This week's goals.

Finish measuring what different AI tools do to a pasted screenshot. Have Claude and Figma, need ChatGPT and Cursor before it's a real table.
Write the annotate-and-hand-off guide I keep pushing back.
Still waiting on Microsoft to validate my company for code signing so the Windows build can ship. Third attempt at this one.

What I want to learn.

How other people structure input for coding agents. Modem published a long piece this week on writing code that agents can grep, and it changed how I think about the visual side of the same problem.

How last week went.

✅ Shipped scrolling capture.
✅ Then found out long screenshots get shrunk before the model reads them. 3066x28800 going in, 276x2600 arriving. Redesigned the feature around it.
❌ Blog post backlog, still six deep.
