I had a lot of fun doing my first live coding pairing session with community member @sophia_wyl . For those interested in future live coding pairings read below.

Aside from that, I think I set a personal record in replying to the community with animated GIFs for this post. 🤣

TGIF folks!

Converted a twitter discussion into a blog article which has gone viral with over 2k views. It's crazy because I really did not expect that from this article :-)

Link to the article - dev.to/skaytech/why-do-you-want-to...

In fact, I did see that feature on the main feed section too. I'm curious on the algorithm of how Dev.to promotes certain articles to the feed section. Any information on that would be gladly appreciated.

My heartfelt thanks to the Dev community for providing such a wonderful platform for blogging. I've never enjoyed writing more :-)

I'm SUCH a fan of when DEV members use discussion posts as a jumping off point for full articles. It kind of sums up what DEV is all about to me — turning collective opinions/thoughts/debate into useful evergreen content. Way to go and thanks for being PART of this community!

I have published my very first freeCodeCamp article titled "The Docker Handbook". It's an huge article with enough content to take someone from 0 to 1 in Docker.

Also, I've just redesigned my farhan.info with TailwindCSS. It is a big deal to me as I don't consider myself as that much of a front-end guy.

I very recently started writing here, and my third post did a lot better than I thought. My first post got about 40 views, my second was slightly less at 33. Then I posted my third post and went to bed, I woke up to a couple hundred, and it didn't stop, almost at 2k views now😲

My wife finished her final round of surgery (3) for her gallbladder removal. She has been fighting strong for nearly 2 months, It's great to see her finally getting back on her feet.

I also got the GitHub Arctic Code Vault Contributor badge! It's such an honor to be a part of this history.

I'm so glad your wife is back on her feet, Waylon. My former co-worker/current friend had that surgery and she said the process was really excruciating. Hope you both have some fun this weekend!

I learned how to use Netlify for deploying some of my projects and learned how to use Eleventy in a basic fashion. That concluded with making this template to contribute to and OSS project.

So now I'm a happy camper 😄
