✨ Dev.to Posts Highlights! ✨
Here is one of the posts I am proud of for this month!
Talked about comparison and things to look for when we naturally compare ourselves and know how success came to be. This post made to the TOP 7 of one of the weeks of July!
Here is the top 3 posts that I have discovered that stood out to me!
@canro91 Celebrating his 7th year on DEV and taking in questions about anything or just stopping by to say HI! (Do note that the comment section is now closed. See here for updates from him: https://dev.to/canro91/i-ran-an-ama-on-devto-here-are-my-favorite-questions-56o8
@javz Reached his first year one DEV and made a summary on what he has accomplished and learned.
@grahamthedev Built a Snake Game that will potentially obliterate your PC faster than scalping Pokemon Cards at your local Walmart.

- 🔍 I was looking at Portfolio reviews for reference to improve my own and I saw this lol.

Thanks for the mention...and glad you liked my AMA. I'm thinking of running another one in a couple of months.
Not a problem Cesar! Looking forward for another one, though I am curious if it is a recurring thing?
Not a recurring idea. It started as an experiment with a "what if I run an AMA on dev.to like the ones on Reddit?" I didn't expect that many questions and participation :)
Oh that fair lol
Congratulations on making the Top 7 once again, Francis! 🎉 Well deserved. And I absolutely love these monthly reports. They're always such a fun read!
Thanks Sylwia :D
@francistrdev At this point, we'll all be replaced with AI by the time the Portfolio gets posted 😉 But jokes aside, take your time, we're all waiting impatiently 😂
Well done on the top 7 and the CALEC! How are you enjoying it sofar?
Here's to August being a highly productive month!
lol
Everything running smooth. Nothing too much going on. wbu?
All good this side, been head down into Qoder, if you havent tried it yet, give it a go, it's really an eye-opener for what AI platforms should be... Speaking of which, I've been using it for 2 major projects, 1, a Dwarf Fortress clone, but written in rust and 2, an agentic IDE (also rust), both going really well and enjoying the process alot!
Awesome recap for July! Keeping up a monthly dev report series takes serious consistency—what’s your process for capturing these highlights throughout the month so you aren't scrambling to remember everything at the end?
Hey Mia. Great question. I usually just write things down. Since there isn't much to write, it's easy to maintain. If there are a lot of articles/videos I liked, I choose my top 3 usually around the end of the month or so. Thanks Mia :D
Happy to be featured here!
Congratulations on another Top 7 award!!
Thanks Julien and glad you are well :D
Hey, I’m interested in your development journey. What was the biggest achievement you made this month, and which of your Dev.to posts are you most proud of?
Hey! As outlined in this post: The TOP 7 Achievement for the "I am that I am" post while also being the proudest post I have made by far! :)
SpiderMan and IronMan OP 🔥
You mean Thor and Doom?
Yeah, fr!
Congratulations Everyone 🎈
🎉
Your articles and GIFs never fail to impress. Drop the tutorial and the link, pretty please 😂🤣
lol no tutorial I followed. Just simply mashed two images/GIF/videos together and it just works XD
I'll have to give it a try next time — spice up my articles with an animated cover and some GIFs, make them more lively and fun 😄
Looking forward to it!
Great work, Francis! Congratulations on making the Top 7 and all your accomplishments this month. Wishing you the best with your Salesforce certification in August!
Thanks Larry!
