I can start by sharing my favorite article on DEV this year.
Learning Starts After Graduation
@itsugo Made an article about how students learn more after graduation since we are all so focus on getting good grades at school and not realizing that there are important skills outside of school that we have to do, but can't since we are so busy.
It was also the first time I met Aryan and is my first follower on DEV! :)
Hope you still be around here sometime!!
Wow such an unexpected mention and appreciation... Thank you very much Francis!
Can't wait for the portfolio dude!!! Glad to see you're doing well btw.
Hello
This... Cuz honestly, who doesnt want DEV.to to be a 3d library?
Shift from AI vibe coding to real debugging
I Turned DEV.to Into a Walkable 3D Library — Debugging It Has Been a Nightmare
If you havent checked it out yet, part 2 is just as cool!
Sanity Challenge Path Two Submission
I Tried to Prompt a 3D DEV Library Into Existence. Then I Had to Build My Own Level Editor.
100%. School teaches you the theoretical algorithms, but it doesn't teach you how to debug a broken legacy database at 2 AM or decipher poorly written documentation. Welcome to the real dev loop!
Thanks for the mention Sir @francistrdev, BTW I can share an article:
How I Got a Job Offer as a Fresher in an AI-Fearing Market — Without LeetCode or Club Leaderships on My Resume
This was my first dev.to "article". And its big and I spent a lot of time writing it. And it got me into writing on dev.to in first place. And I was real happy by the engagement!😄
ayy late congrats for the job offer and thanks for sharing your fav article Dhruv!! :D
I’m really curious to see what Devengers becomes when that countdown finally hits zero! 👀
For my recommendation, I’d pick Anthony Max’s “I created a catalog with embeds for your projects 💎”.
@anthonymax
I created a catalog with embeds for your projects 💎
It’s an open-source project where you can showcase OSS projects, developer tools, services, and more in a catalog format. There actually aren’t that many good places dedicated to discovering and showcasing OSS projects, so I really like that Anthony is trying to solve that problem with OSS itself.
I’m actually building something in a similar space too, so this project gave me a lot of inspiration 😸
Definitely worth checking out!
Awesome stuff! Thanks @nyaomaru and good work @anthonymax!
Sharing this one because it put words to something I'd been feeling but couldn't name — that the tiredness isn't from the work, it's from chasing a finish line that keeps moving.
Ahh yes. A good article you wrote! It's important that there isn't a "finish line" in tech since after you complete one thing, there's always another.
Thanks for sharing James!
😊
Aww! Thanks for the tag @francistrdev ! You are so kind to always be sharing everyone else's posts. ✨️
Thanks Anna! Always good to be nice to others :)
Wrote this one in response to a DEV burnout post in one sitting.
Totally unplanned.
Without using any AI: Not for writing, not for images, not even for grammar checks. 🫠
Feeling Burnt Out? May Be You Should Read This! ❤️🩹
Thanks for sharing Fayaz! Gave it a good read and a Gem or that :D
Cool! Thanks for the Gem 🥰
Nice achievement you have here Francis. I too am looking to work on my portfolio. Don't just know when yet 😩😅, but still procrastinating it for now lol.
My favorite article that I have read so far will be this one from @hemapriya_kanagala
Self-care as a career building block
Your Career Matters. So Does the Person Building It.
Thank you so much, Yahaya! Means a lot ❤️
You're welcome
Ahh yes. I remember that article! Glad you shared it Yahaya!
Hopefully your portfolio would be finishing faster than mine lol.
Yeah, hopefully 😂
The DEVengers will Return...
Tomorrow.
If that didn't happen, read this message again 👍📌
Yep lol
Nice one Francis! Can't wait to see and review your Portfolio !! :D
Thanks Julien. Hopefully it won't be postponed haha
Thank you for writing this one — it's harder than any technical post.
The thing that helped me restart wasn't motivation, it was shrinking the task until it was too small to be scary. Not "get back into it," just "open the editor and change one line." Momentum is a side effect of starting, not a prerequisite for it.
Burnout lies to you that the gap you took means you've lost it. You haven't — the skill is still there, it's just quiet. Glad you're back, and rooting for you.
Thanks Rudratosh!
Thank you Francis for the public notice! People need to be careful, cuz the 12h window means that they'd act before verifying. Worth noting too, that any automated messaging from DEV.to is done via Sloan, eg. posts flagged as AI generated, etc. there is no DEV Supports (also, it would be Support, not Supports). Clearly someone thought they were being clever masquerading, I just hope nobody fell victim.
Very nice refresh on the layout! Though I'm docking points for portfolio postponed again... 😂
Listen the only thing I changed on that portfolio is the Pokeball Optimization lmao
Fair, dont want anyone judging you where it counts 😂 But remember, the whole point of post for review, is so you can get feedback and grow? Even an incomplete, imperfect one is ideal, that way you dont commit too deep, before someone gives you a pointer you resonate with.
Dont do what I do, dont gatekeep till you think it's perfect, cuz then all feedback is seen as criticism and you miss out on feedback for all that time you were polishing. Cuz if I had released Dwarven Stronghold back when it just used emojis, it'd probably be live now, instead im over 10m LOC in and it'll only run once the next 1k files are all updated (another 1m LOC), eventually enough is enough to start with, it doesnt have to be flawless day 1.
That's fair! Also, feel free to share your favorite article on DEV (if you have one) on the comments based on the special announcement!
Solid progress @francistrdev! Let's keep improving!
Thanks Elmar!
As always, loved the monthly discovery section, Francis 😀 And great progress this month too!
Thanks Hema!! :D
❤️

Hello
Hello
@unitbuilds Yea here it is lol
I send to Jem in the comments where they got rid of the others, but they havent responded yet. So idk, atleast the comment got flagged, which means they're hopefully looking into it.
Added a disclaimer at the end of the article to let everyone know just in case. Otherwise, reported it :)
They're pretty blatant ngl, they even posted to Ben on his meme monday post 🤣
