This week, I...helped launch DEV Listings! It's felt like a much needed feature for the community and it's been awesome seeing people list all sorts of opportunities :)
Super excited about these! Already shared with our recruiting team!
Thx Jess, DEV_Listings is a great feature addition to DEV.to.
This week, I... launched my first open-source NPM module! github.com/good-idea/use-shopify
Awesome!
This week, I made some serious headway on my first full React app I'm building. Plan is to be a no-nonsense color repo, a place for palettes, gradients, and other cool color things. Uses React on the frontend, Node/Express on the back, and MongoDB for storage.
Super Stoked!

This week, I... went to my first big tech conference — Microsoft Build! It was great to hang with a bunch of DEV members, honestly too many to list out and @-mention here. But a special thank you to @bnb for helping make it possible for me and @aspittel to attend! 💛
Peter,
How was it? I've never been to a conference... Inspiring, empowering, you tell us!
I was really surprised by the sheer scale of the conference. So many developers in one place. So much fanfare. And I gather that this isn't even at the high-end of spectacle (that would be something more like AWS re:Invent or Google I/O).
It was amazing to meet so many internet friends (Twitter and DEV contacts), and new friends while at the conference. Twitter is really a connective platform that adds a touch more permanence to fleeting in-person interactions.
It was inspiring to see how positive and excited people are, even about relatively niche products being offered by Microsoft or the Azure crowd. It reminds you that there are a ton of people out there quietly building and pushing projects and businesses forward using this wide array of technology.
And I really liked the AI demos, especially around visual recognition.
This week, I got a new phone to replace my old broken one.
Annnnnnnd... I took a picture of my garden to share since I couldn't show y'all one in last week's wins session!
Love it!!
Nice! What do you have growing there?
Let's see here...
3 tomatoes (2 Roma, 1 Cherry)
2 poblanos
2 jalapenos
2 bell peppers (1 yellow, 1 red)
2 eggplant
1 blackberry bush
1 blueberry bush
and from seed:
several butternut squash
several watermelon
... honestly, I might need to kick some of it outta the box before it's over with haha!
That's a crowded box for sure! Good luck!
Awesome garden 🌾🌱🌿.
I spot some peppers, nice!
Indeed! Love the peppers. 🌶🌶🌶
We've been making a lot of progress on dev.to lately and I noticed that we recently passed Product Hunt in traffic according to SimilarWeb
We don't need to define our success as a competition with anyone, but Product Hunt is a tech community we looked to along the way while getting started. So to see that graph is interesting!
Next up, Hacker News:
SimilarWeb is just an estimation, but in an apples to apples way I think it's somewhat accurate as a gauge on these kinds of things.
Wow. What A Milstone! Good luck passing HN!
Straight past.

This week, I...
Had a few big wins related to performance testing of some internal web services.
This week, I improved my Bootstrap skills. As I'm not a designer, many more new synapses to come...
