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.

Everyone and anyone is welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others. Zoom link will be posted at 12pm MDT.

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.

Terminal window on a teal background with autumn leaves. It shows "$ whoami" returning "grateful" and a git commit "Thank you!" with "1 community, ∞ insertions(+)", next to the title "Giving Thanks & Gratitude", a heart in curly braces, and "Weekly Dev Chat · October 13, 2026"
