It has been an amazing week for me related to writing articles on DEV.
It's been so overwhelming.
Couldn't be more thankful to DEV community ๐๐
congrats on the great success! It feels good when you get featured in specialized accounts like that.
The DEV Community is โจAmazing
Yaas! ๐ฅณ๐
My wife and I bought our first house!!! ๐
Also, I released a new major version of Orchid: 0.19.0
๐ช Life-changing week in the Brooks house!
Cool!!
Launched the beta of my startup debugg.me and had 3 users sign up on the first day! It's not much but it's honest work :)
That is an awesome looking landing page
Thanks! It means a lot. The landing page is one of the things I'm most proud of
Nice job! Nice meme reference too ;)

NICE! ๐
Wrote my first article here and itโs quite nice feeling, it makes me want to write and share more :)
The DEV community seems to have that effect on many of us! Please share a link. This is a place you are welcome to plug your work shamelessly.

I gave my first meet up talk!
yay congratulations๐ What was the talk about? how did it go? how was the overall experience? This is huge๐จ๐ป
Aw thank you! It was titled "Becoming an accessibility-focused developer". And it went so well! I was nervous in the run up but people were really nice and asked lots of good questions after ๐
The video will be released soon but I have the slides up on bit.ly/a11y-focused-developer in case you're interested
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing the slides I will check them out. I gave my first talk 2 weeks back and I had a similar experience, people were super nice!
Oh awesome! What did you speak about? Do you think you'll do more?
It was titled "Web Performance Hacks ๐" I talked about HTML Parsing and Rendering in the beginning and then I talked about how we can get the first paint as quickly as possible.
And yes I loved the overall experience so I'm totally looking to do more!
Here are my slides for web performance hacks talk
That sounds so interesting! I'll definitely check out the slides ๐
