After almost 3 years on dev.to I finally reached 10,000 followers! :D
When I started blogging in 2017, I thought nobody will even read my stuff, so:
๐ THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!! ๐
It was a new years resolution, I wanted to blog once a week for one year to see if something comes from it. I almost did it! I did 52 articles in 2017 but missed a week because of sickness, but I didn't let it slip and wrote more articles later!
I wrote about JavaScript, WebPack, React, AWS, severless, APIs, Reason, Rust, Node.js and what not. I even had many guest posts about topics like machine learning and DevOps!
Blogging led me to update one of my tutorials on GitHub regularly, which made it so enjoyable that I got offered a book deal by \newline in 2018, so I wrote my first book, and it sold hundreds of times!
In 2019, I got approached by a few companies to write articles for them, and two weeks ago, I did my first online tech talk:
Tech Talk: Debugging AWS Lambda functions with VSCode

So, what would be better to celebrate 10,000 followers on a blog about software development than software?!
Inspired by Honkify, which was, in turn, inspired by Untitled Goose Game, I created a bookmarklet that lets you cause shenanigans on your favorite websites!

The goose is loose on dev.to:
Reviewed by my loved ones:
- "This may be the best software you ever created. You did honkin well!"
- "I'm proud like a mother! This is why we exist"
And in the spirit of hacktoberfest: Pull requests are very welcome! (because it's really buggy at the moment XD)
I hope you have fun using this bookmarklet and if you got a boring weekend ahead of you: I'm waiting for your PRs! :D
If you like my content on dev.to so far: Follow me on Twitter and GitHub.

99% of that code is basically a jQuery plugin for DOM physics, which I didn't write myself, haha.
