I heard that putting a pic of yourself on a resume is not a good practice for dev. What do you think?

it depends... if you look as hot as Fabio it might help you... if you don't then put one of your doggo.

Wow I wasn’t expecting this but thanks anyway... it must sound like a stupid question to you.

It's Thursday (I thought it was Friday, that's how good the week is going for me...), and I thought it was funny :). I apologize if it hurt your feelings. To answer your question "seriously" though, it's up to you. With all the changes going on I don't think its a big issue, but from my experience, a photograph of you wont land you a job, more than your Github portfolio and experience.

In France, my dev friends put their pic on their cv. They don’t know why but it helps they said. Sorry I didn’t get the joke. You are right it’s Friday. No hard feelings.
