Very inspiring, I will write as I also have two women that strongly - and keep impacting - impacted my career. Gues it's time to make a deeper introspection of what they both offered to me as a storyteller, manager and developer

Sounds good meeting and telling them in person is the best. Otherwise, you can do it digitally as well writing a letter and sending digital flowers to them. I'm sure whatever you do they will be really really happy.

Same case with my mom. Although I failed so many times, was not always nice to her and often hurt her, and commited so many dumb mistakes, she believes still in me and keeps me at home and allows me to develop in great conditions and come back to uni this year. Actually my relationship with my mom throughout last 2 years have rectified very much, whereas if I were her I would throw myself away from the house.

So fair case, when it comes to female creators, I barely know any, but on dev.to there are very interesting posts written by @maame-codes and she does really a phenomenal work in my opinion.

It's fine Luftie. Life's always been ups and downs. I hope your relationship with your mom gets even better and you get a better and happy life.

You are right @maame-codes does write amazing content and you also write amazing content. So you both should keep writing and inspiring a lot of people.

This honestly made my day 🥰 and I’m not exaggerating when I say your words brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for mentioning me and for such kind and generous words, Konark

One of the most beautiful things about platforms like DEV is realizing that the things we write, sometimes while wondering if anyone will read them, can actually help or inspire someone else. Knowing that my articles motivated you truly means a lot to me.

And I want you to know that the feeling is mutual. I really enjoy reading your posts too. Your articles always carry genuine curiosity and passion for learning, and that’s something that makes the developer community so special.

Thanks again my friend 💙
