Yesterday my very first DEV PR got merged!
I didn't have any experience in Ruby so I wanted to do something easy, I came across this Issue/Feature request from @jess.

3 year badge #1562

Even though the Issue wasn't approved yet I felt pretty confident that it wouldn't be an issue because it was a suggestion from a DEV co-founder 😂

The PR itself was fairly easy, I could base my code on the already available 2 year anniversary badge with little changes required.

Added 3 year anniversary badge #1732

After that the PR got reviewed and merged very quickly by @ben.

I hope to stay in this awesome community long enough to receive this badge!

This is my very first blog post on DEV (and first blog post in general) I hope to not only lurk and comment but in the future make more blog posts, also a little more technical posts.

And besides my very first DEV PR and post I have also received my very first DEV Badge! 🎉
