Soo... 2025 is basically over. How'd it go for you?
Here are two of my own DEV-centric highlights that come to mind:

Posts for reflecting on your past week.
We're not doing a New Year Writing Challenge this year (we have something else in store to be announced on Jan 1!) so I wanted to start a discussion for anyone who'd like to take a moment to reflect on the last twelve months!
And if you don't have anything in particular to share, perhaps you'd like to try @dev_kiran's community app - DEV Wrapped - to see your personalized year-in-review DEV activity:

Here's mine:

It's always so cool when the community builds things around DEV!
Finally, I'd be remiss not to plug our final challenge of the year:


DEV's Worldwide Show and Tell Challenge Presented by Mux: Pitch Your Projects! $3,000 in Prizes. 🎥

This is an opportunity to pitch any project you're proud of! It could be a dev tool, full blown app, previous challenge submission, or anything in between! The new video cover image feature works like a charm and will really make your submission pop.
Okay that's it from me! Tell me how 2025 was for you!

Here are two of my own DEV-centric highlights that come to mind:
- I'm proud to share we launched 30 DEV Challenges this past year. I'm hoping to bring that number up to 50+ in 2026 so that DEV becomes more and more of a hackathon destination for developers everywhere.
- I've also been very happy to see more people sharing their weekly wins in my #weeklyretro post. It's very fun seeing what everyone has been up to!
