Damn, I made 2000 comments in a year (some of which might actually have been useful) and when I take my foot off the gas you go and introduce this? 🤣

Only kidding, sounds like a great idea, I find the comments more valuable than the articles themselves a lot of the time!

That explains why my inbox was spamming me with notifications haha. Thank you for the highlight! :D

I'll admit that I was drawn to that post originally because of the sloth icon. I freakin' love sloths and wanted to see what a sloth was posting. Glad I could help some peeps.

Haha! Sloths are kinda the best.

And since Earth Day is tomorrow, I wanna point out this Sloth-focused post that we shared a couple years back on the day:

Anywho, really happy to highlight your comment! It was a seriously thoughtful, helpful one. 🙌

I'm voting this the best comment for this week on my recent post regarding age. How inspirational 👐

Hi there coders. I am age 68 and still learning. I played around with React last year and went Serverless too. Now that I am retired I have more time to spend on coding and writing some Dev.to articles. It is so important for older people to keep exercising the brain.

Happy Coding!!

That is an awesome and inspiring comment. Really appreciate you sharing!! 😀

I think in future editions of this, I'll urge folks to drop a link to their favorite comment or discussion of the week as it really would be fun to see folks's favorites in the comments here.

Great idea! Also can I just say how much I love Sloan as a concept? Totally removes the fear of ridicule or doubt or shame. Kudos for that!

Thanks!! Some great minds came up with Sloan long before I ever joined the team. 🧠

But, I totally agree with ya!! Sloan is available to post anonymously on behalf of community members and it's a really great outlet for folks that have something they wanna ask the community but don't feel comfortable asking themselves.

Glad you dig Sloan and really appreciate you chiming in here! 😄
