Considering it was my very first challenge on this platform, winning on my debut among so many great participants is still beyond my comprehension.

Congrats! What was the challenge about?

Giorgi Kobaidze • Mar 15

Thanks! It was basically about using GitHub Copilot CLI for creating something interesting.

Made a few PR for the Forem Repository and got all few of them merged.

Increase the Email requirement to 254 characters instead of 50: github.com/forem/forem/pull/22907
Did some "Create Post" optimization where you can see the errors instead of scrolling up to see them manually: github.com/forem/forem/pull/22929

One thing to highlight is this PR. I created a PR where the Dismiss button is now on the far right instead of next to the Preview Button. If you are wondering why the "Dismiss" button is on the far Right when you try to comment on someone's comment, that's why! Great to see the integration happening live!:

Added a Popup for the Dismiss Button #22939

What type of PR is this? (check all applicable)

[ ] Refactor
[x] Feature
[x] Bug Fix
[ ] Optimization
[ ] Documentation Update

Description

When you reply to a comment, the "Dismiss" button is moved to the far Right to prevent the user from accidental deletion to the comment they made without warning.

If the user click the Dismiss button when they have a comment, there will be a popup to confirm the user to delete the comment. If the user click the Dismiss Button with no content, the popup will not show. For now, the popup will show as the bare minimum as an MVP.

awesome

My biggest win this week was getting accepted as an AWS Community Builder, which felt really special.

I’ve also been quietly pushing Sigilla forward, and it’s one of those weeks where the progress was not flashy, but very real.

Ben Halpern The DEV Team • Mar 13

Awesome

NorthernDev • Mar 14

Thanks Ben!

As AWS community builder, what is your role ? Curious to know as I am also interested in cloud technology.

This week I earned x2 badges on this platform that mean a lot to me:

GitHub Copilot CLI Challenge Runner-up. This was a challenge that introduced me to new tooling and capabilities and that pushed me to get creative and have lots of fun in the process.
Warm Welcome. I have made it a weekly ritual to dive into the weekly Welcome thread as I love hearing about people's journeys and motivations for joining the platform. When I can I like to give support, just like I have been receiving lots of support here since joining.

I am also working on a personal project and made some good progress and started prototyping, I am planning a series of posts to share my learnings, both technical and personal.

Have a great weekend!

Giorgi Kobaidze • Mar 13

Great job! Looking forward to reading your posts about the project.

Julien Avezou • Mar 13

Thanks Giorgi! And a huge congrats to you for your win this week! Your challenge submission was very entertaining to read through.

Giorgi Kobaidze • Mar 13

Thank you for taking time for reading the whole thing. Really appreciate that!

Added an emoji selector to the comment box, to let me do things like this: 🎉

Also took a few days off, which was a great reset!

BE9300 Broken With 4kQAM Rate Set On BE200 So this is an interesting and very specific phenomenon I've narrowed down. The BE200 from intel and the BE9300 from Netgear completely bomb out their rate set negotiation when the signal is perfect. Yup, this means what you think. Moving the antenna further away or in a suboptimal position to force a lower RSSI so that 1024 QAM or lower is negotiated gives the expected bandwidth. It appears that one of the devices gets confused or "stuck" on properly allocating the available resource units or doesn't have 4kQAM properly mapped into a rate setting table. I've checked this repeatedly with spare wifi antennas, moving the PC around, and overzealous usage of iperf 3.2.0 against a wired PC also connected to the BE9300 as well as iperf on an iphone 16.

I'm a heavy emoji user, so it helps a lot. Thank you for the update! 😀😄😊

Pascal CESCATO • Mar 13

Being named a runner-up in the GitHub Copilot CLI Challenge this week was already very rewarding. I also received the Warm Welcome badge today, and was pleasantly surprised to be mentioned in the Welcome Thread v368 as one of the writers to follow. Feeling very grateful for the encouragement from the DEV community!

Shipped my Notion MCP Challenge submission this week — a knowledge evaluator built on Cloudflare Workers AI that scores conversation excerpts on 3 signals and routes them to Notion based on confidence. Ambiguous items land in a Notion Review Queue where Claude Desktop can query them back via @notionhq/notion-mcp-server. First time closing a genuinely bidirectional MCP loop and it worked cleaner than expected.
