An energy packed week!

I found out I won my first DEV challenege, for which I am grateful.
New employment - I am onboarding and start next month! (A massive upgrade from part time with no benefits) And even better... there might be chances to do coding at the new job at some point!
I spent three days baking and wrapping for the holidays!

I've created an offline console contest among CPU scheduling algorithms; simple but I really love the way it judges among SJF, SRTF, RR, and FIFO, take a look at github.com/Sana-Allah-Kheiri/CPU-S... and tell me how can I improve it, esp it's Ui as I want to make it fool-proof; you know why?

This week, I finally motivated my friends enough to participate in the Dev.to challenge together
We’re all going to compete in the next challenge separately, and on top of that, we decided to create our own internal judging to review each other’s work and choose a winner.
Feels great to turn motivation into action and build something fun together .
I will take this as a win.

Anna Villarreal • Dec 19

I'm trying to convince people as well LOL

Varshith V Hegde • Dec 19

Yeah same here . It took me soooo long 🫠😅

Jess Lee The DEV Team • Dec 19

Yay!!

Piotr Daniel • Dec 19

I got my first ever GitHub stars (4) for my QNote project.

Whilst a small achievement, it does boost the confidence a lot!

My win this week: Published an article synthesizing two trending posts into something new—showing how edge computing's economic constraints are bringing back software discipline through your bank account, not ethics.
Writing it forced me to crystallize lessons from running 500K+ daily API calls on Cloudflare Workers. Turns out, when the platform bills you per millisecond, waste stops being a "bad practice" and becomes actual money leaving your account.

The best part? It's Friday afternoon, so hopefully it catches weekend traffic 🤞

My win this week: shipping git-scope v1.3.0, adding in-app workspace switching and symlink support, and seeing the project pick up 33 GitHub stars along with two first-time contributors.

The best part has been the quality of feedback — people are discussing real multi-repo workflows, not just features. That’s been very motivating.

Written 4 articles in dev.to

I'm quite addicted to Claude Code saying You're absolutely right!, and I can't get it out of my head. So I wrote a post about it on DEV Community. 🤯

I have started developing my dream project - a 3d editor written in Python and Glsl using raymarching and SDF (Signed Distance Function)!

Manish Joshi • Dec 19

That’s awesome — raymarching + SDF is no joke 👏

Starting a dream project is a big win.

Small suggestion (only if useful):

I recently built a tiny CLI that keeps README.md in sync with code, because my docs kept breaking as projects grew.

Might help once your editor gets more complex:
npx readme-fast

Either way, best of luck — would love to see how it evolves!

EmberNoGlow • Dec 19

Thanks )

After much procrastination, I finally consolidated 5 Elixir/Phoenix apps into one and deployed it to Gigalixir free‑tier — my first go at it! (•̀ᴗ•́ )و

This week, my team and I won on ProductHunt with the launch of our new app MultiDrive, and we received the “Product of the Day” award.

We have been developing this app for several years. It is a desktop application for simple disk operations: cloning, backup, and secure wiping of an entire drive. The app is completely free, has a user-friendly interface, and no ads.

Six months ago, I published an article on dev.to about how we developed this app — from the initial idea to the release.

You can read it here: The Story Behind MultiDrive.

If you would like to support our project, please give us an upvote on ProductHunt. We would really appreciate it!
