First, a couple of DEV-related "wins" - receiving the Discuss badge for The Internet’s Addiction to Being Contrary, which was followed by the Beloved Comment badge for my post in the current Meme Monday thread!

I've remained one-hundred percent consistent over at freeCodeCamp, as I've come to realise learning to grow is really important to me.

Back to the community here at DEV - feeling very much part of things now, thanks to the continued support and encouragement. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to upvote my content and, of course, interact with myself.

Good to know, Julien. Thanks for the lovely comment! My journey here at DEV started as a means to keep my learning consistent but it turned out to be so much more - proud to be part of this community!

Is recovering after burnout counted as a win? (o′┏▽┓`o)

Nothing dev related this week but I sure did get multi-domain knowledge from business, marketing and sales. Felt like another training arc tbh, and I LOVE training arcs.

OH OFC almost forgot I crossed 3000 followers on DEV recently! Once again really grateful for that to the entire community here!

Fixed some occasional performance issues that should reduce random DEV slowdowns (Hopefully!)

Deployed my new personal project. [whispering]For one of the dev challenges on this platform, don’t tell anyone.

All I’m left with right now is to create a post about it and maybe a video explaining what I did. 🔥

Don't sell yourself short, Ember - checked out the project and I think it's really starting to take shape. I love that the readme.md details a roadmap and the story behind the project. Keep it up!

I finished my robotics starter course this week which I enjoyed a lot! I am planning to share my first learnings on how learning basic robotics can help become a better software engineer.
I also wrote a post this week about prototyping an app for ChatGPT marketplace.

I'm happy that the Google AI team is on standby to answer questions from DEV members in their new livestream. To me, it's a win that they value DEV so much. I hope everyone takes advantage of this:

On a personal note, I am officially a member of Toastmasters and have my first talk scheduled soon :)

bonus: I saw the sunrise on the other day. (due to an early morning release and it burned my eyes out, but it was a beauty nonetheless

Great job, Gábor. Finding that rhythm can be the most important step!
