@itsugo Aryan talks about his experience working in a Startup and talks about what he had learn from it. Left a thoughtful comment in hopes he gets better during his journey as a Dev, but also glad to share with us his experience on Dev.to!

@konark_13 He shared an Interview Guide that I see as very helpful for someone getting into Tech. I left it bookmarked for future references and want to showcase it here in hopes that others may find it useful as well!

@bingkahu He made a post under the DEVengers org in honor of Richard Pascoe leaving the Dev.to platform. He has left many thoughtful comments and post throughout the Dev.to community and has made impact on everyone. This goes from greeting people in the Welcome Threads, to making post about the state of the internet culture where everyone shared their thoughts about learning from each other and not being defensive or mean.

I remember he made a comment on one of my post that he was waiting to see this Monthly Report, but I will never know if he will see this one, but I hope he will! I wish him luck and hope he will return! Will honor him by continuing to be on Dev.to whenever I can!
