🌟 #DEVImpact2023 Reflections

Proud Moments

I am thrilled and proud to see the growth in the posts in Portuguese, using the #braziliandevs tag. I have been heavily advocating DEV to the Brazilian community, and this year I saw soo many awesome articles in Portuguese!

DEV Contributions

I think 2023 was the year I wrote the most articles for Dev, both in English and Portuguese. If I am not mistaken, 27 so far and we still have a few weeks to go! So, I'm hoping to end the year with 30 articles.

Brilliant Fails

I haven't had any fails I consider brilliant this year, honestly, it was tough! I lost my dad, months after I lost my job and I am still jobless. So I guess I am just proud I took time for myself when I needed it and that I kept going.
Still looking for a new job tho 🥲

Celebrate the Numbers

I have 10.000 followers here!!!
After 4 years on Dev.to, this "place" become home for me and my words, so I am really REALLY happy with this, Thanks Everyone!!!!

my DEV 2023

Shoutouts

I want to shout out and give my thanks to two ladies whose articles and work inspired me.
@morgannadev & @blackgirlbytes
And @michaeltharrington for the great job he does here.

THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME ❤️❤️❤️

Future Goals

I don't know... I am still looking for a new job so my hopes and dreams for 2024 are a mystery yet.

What Does DEV Means to You?

DEV means a lot to me.
From the very beginning of my developer journey, I was here. I made some awesome friends here.
And once I transitioned to Developer Relations it became an important working tool.
It is my very favorite place on the internet.

Thank you so dang much for the shoutout Pachi! I really appreciate your kindness. 💚

Also, back at you for being such an awesomely helpful, kind, and cool member of our community. You're the original tag mod for #braziliandevs! I know you know this, haha, you're the one who asked to create the tag! But, it's seriously amazing how much the community of folks from Brazil on DEV has grown over the years. Y'all are creating awesome content in Português do Brasil 🙌 and have started up some amazing orgs too — a lot of which don't seem like they're companies, but rather like-minded friends and folks with progressive values. 👏

Just to say, you deserve a major shoutout for helping to kickstart this amazing part of our community. I don't think it would've happened like this without your involvement!

I really appreciate all that ya do on DEV and feel lucky to have gotten to know ya better when we worked closely together just a couple years ago, which by the way, if you need a recommendation just lemme know.

You rock, Pachi! I hope you find you're dream job — wherever you go, they'll be lucky to have you join their team. 😀
