Last week, we announced that DEV has joined Major League Hacking. To kick things off, we're launching a writing challenge about a topic both communities are already familiar with: Google Gemini.
Running through March 4 at 11:59 AM ET, the Built with Google Gemini: Writing Challenge presented by MLH will be an opportunity to show off what you've built with Google Gemini, reflect on your experience, and share what you're up to next! Whether you competed at an MLH hackathon, tackled a DEV Challenge, or hacked on something independently with Google Gemini as your go-to, we want to hear about it.
Five winners will walk away with a Raspberry Pi AI Kit for writing the best articles. As is tradition with DEV Challenges, all participants will receive a completion badge.
Read on for details!

A writing challenge ! :-D. DEFINITELY trying this challenge <3
Good luck!
Thank you !
Quick question: if my article is fully in English and the app interface is also in English, but the AI-generated insights are in Ukrainian for its target audience, is it still eligible for prize consideration?
@ben @jess cc
@curiousvlxd not a problem!
You and me both!
Awesome π ππ
Can I write about several projects in one post? I've been using Gemini CLI a lot these days in older projects
Yes, definitely!
Oh wow, how exciting!!! What a cool prize!!!
I'm really looking forward to reading everyone's posts. Good luck!
I'm thrilled we're able to offer such a cool prize for a writing challenge - this is a first!
On last minute: dev.to/pengeszikra/the-royal-gazet...
this is just a vibe rush under 2h
Another LLM challenge, another idea from the past (1987), that will be interesting.
