Okay, I'm starting to believe a year isn't actually up to 12 months anymore. Or does time simply just move much faster for me ๐ค๐
Well folks, it's been 365 days already, and it's that time of the year again, when I celebrate being a member of this AMAZING platform, clocking 3 years today๐๐๐.
This year came around so fast for me. I didn't realize the 23rd of July had slowly crept up the calendar and almost snuck past. I have been so tied up with a lot of work that I completely forgot I had to create my anniversary post. That would have been horrific, and would have broken a tradition I have grown to love๐. But thankfully, I realized what today was just in time๐ฎโ๐จ๐ .
Well, for the past year, some things have changed, and some haven't. Okay, let's start with the things that have changed:
Ah, lest we forget the wonderful introduction of DEV challenges. I have participated in a few, but I am yet to win any๐ . Here's to the hope of winning one before my next 365 update๐ป.
Fast forward to today, guess what? I actually did๐คญ.
It was such an awesome experience for me, and I really appreciate the DEV team and the Bright Data team for hosting that challengeโจโจโจ.
Now here are some of the things that haven't changed, unfortunately ๐ฉ:
Alright guys, that's a wrap for year 3, lest it gets too lengthy, here's to another awesome 365 days on DEV ๐ฅ. See you again in the next one๐

I have been so tied up with a lot of work that I completely forgot I had to create my anniversary post. That would have been horrific, and would have broken a tradition I have grown to love๐. But thankfully, I realized what today was just in time๐ฎโ๐จ๐ .
Well, for the past year, some things have changed, and some haven't. Okay, let's start with the things that have changed:
- Landed a Job: Within the past year, I was able to land my first full-time job as a Frontend developer at an amazing company. This was a big win for me, and I was so excited. Working with my team has improved my coding and collaboration skills a lot.
- Won my first DEV Challenge: In my last anniversary post, I'd hoped to eventually win one of the challenges.

It was such an awesome experience for me, and I really appreciate the DEV team and the Bright Data team for hosting that challengeโจโจโจ.
- I also participated for the first time in the Hacktoberfest event as a contributor. It was an amazing one.
- Dare I forget to mention the beautiful collection of awesome DEV badges that I have gone on to amass since my last anniversary post? Absolutely not๐
. What can I say? I love badges.
Now here are some of the things that haven't changed, unfortunately ๐ฉ:
- Completed my portfolio: Oh, now this one is a tale as old as time. I don't know what it is, but I just never seem to be able to complete my web portfolio. I build, I break, I leave, I return (rinse and repeat). My brain is just never satisfied with whatever I build and always feel it's not good enough, and more could be done. The turmoils of perfectionism๐ฎโ๐จ (it can be a hindrance to actual progress at times). Hopefully, I would have settled for one before my next update๐
- Publish Contents more often: Now this seems like a much bigger task with each passing day. I have a number of drafts, which I haven't been able to bring myself to complete and publish. Is it because I am too busy most time? probably, or is it because I am too lazy most times, now most definitely๐ฉ๐. I promise to change this before my next update as well๐ค
Alright guys, that's a wrap for year 3, lest it gets too lengthy, here's to another awesome 365 days on DEV ๐ฅ. See you again in the next one๐
