weekly-dev- chat logo

A casual weekly virtual chat mostly focused on web and software development.

Weekly Dev Chat is a place to ask questions, hear different viewpoints, and get to know your fellow developers. Every week there is an initial topic posted to get the discussion started. Sometimes we discuss the initial topic the entire chat, and other times the topic changes several times through the natural flow of the conversation.

Everyone and anyone are welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others.

Giving Thanks and Gratitude

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! Today's (2026-10-13) chat is giving thanks and gratitude. What are you thankful for, both technology related and just in general? A tool, library, or open source project that made your life better? A coworker, mentor, or community that helped you grow? Any successes from the past year you want to humble brag about? Something else?

Obviously inspired by Thanksgiving, which was yesterday. I'm thankful for you, the amazing Weekly Dev Chat community! Thank you for showing up to listen, ask questions, share you knowledge, tell your stories, and just be a good human. A human that is kind, supportive, and respectful of others.

P.S. - Image created by Claude Code with a prompt asking it to create an image for this post. For me Claude is still ahead in coding but behing in image creation.
