Good suggestion, maybe, idk, I think I'll go crazy in the summer if I'm programming at +40, so I'll probably be sitting on dev.to (in the basement) too (& bsky), lol. We'll see.

Yep lol (Except weekends. Weekends is anything but DEV to prevent burn out).

Just finished my submission for the Gemma 4 Challenge this week 😃
I’ve also been trying to become more active in the DEV community and spend more time engaging, rather than just reading posts quietly in the background. Small step, but a meaningful one for me 😄

I know exactly how it feels 🙈 It was a big step for me too to start commenting on posts here, especially since I'm rather introverted and struggle with anxiety disorder. But the community is super supportive, and hey – it's always very pleasant to read someone commenting on your post 🤗 Good job and keep going!

My win this week: I published my first article on DEV.

It is a long and somewhat heavy essay, but I finally wrote down an idea I have been exploring: AI-assisted development may change not only how fast we write code, but also how software architecture evolves over time.

The article is about Attractor Engineering: seeing codebases as fields, PRs as forces, and ArchSig as an observer for architectural trajectories.

I joined the last Weekend Challenge, and honestly, my biggest win wasn’t winning the challenge itself (because I didn’t 😅).

What made me genuinely happy was the number of kind messages and emails I received afterward, mostly from people I’d never talked to before, telling me how much they loved my submission and the website I created where I made Earth tell its story 🌍

Seeing people connect emotionally with something I built meant way more to me than any ranking could. That was the real achievement for me 💙

Big win for me this week, I submitted my first entry to the Gemma 4 Challenge on DEV. Been building a local computer vision project that runs on a Raspberry Pi and finally got the whole pipeline working end to end. Also hit a 2 week community wellness streak which felt nice. Small wins add up 🎉
