I'm a frontend developer who loves turning curious ideas into products and sharing the journey behind them. I write about React, AI, product thinking, and everything I learn while building.

Hey, I'm Hema 👋
Developer, writer, and creator of Dev Opportunity Radar, a weekly series published every Friday on DEV, helping people discover opportunities they might otherwise miss.
Thank you so much, Konark! Your support and kind words always mean a lot 🧡
That's a really thoughtful question. I'd probably say "Your Career Matters. So Does the Person Building It." I put a lot of myself into that article because it was about something very personal to me. After everything I've been through with my health, I really wanted more people to read it, especially because I think we don't take our health seriously enough until it starts affecting our lives and careers.
It didn't reach as many people as I'd hoped, and of course there was a small part of me that wished it had. But I wasn't disappointed. It still led to some really meaningful conversations with our community, and if it helped even a few people stop and think about taking care of themselves, then I'm happy I wrote it.
I've had a few Dev Opportunity Radar posts that didn't get many views too, but those taught me something similar. Sometimes the value of a post isn't reflected in the numbers. If it helps even one person discover an opportunity or encourages someone to take better care of themselves, I think it's still worth writing.
That's probably one of the biggest lessons writing has taught me over the last few months. Sometimes a post reaches thousands of people, and sometimes it reaches the handful of people who really needed to read it. Both are worth writing 💙
