Get Your Summer Sizzle On with $9000 Prize Pool!

Hey Hackers,

Can you believe we’re already halfway through 2023? Time flies, and we hope you’re having a great year so far.

I want to start this update by highlighting some of this month’s best stories.  \

1. Congrats to one of our resident YouTube influencers @whatsai for getting over 40,000 reads on Introducing Drag Your GAN: Drag Objects to Create New Images!
   We hope Louis’ videos help you stay updated on all things AI.
   
2. AI content is constantly trending on HN, and this article by @thomascherickal was no exception: How to Host a Large Language Model Locally. It gained over 8600 reads in a couple of weeks!
   
3. Next up is a story from the injinious Jin Park, whose ​​__Ultimate Guide to Mastering Nmap and Netcat__ got over 3000 reads in just 1 week.
   
4. Sometimes we get a pleasant surprise and see stories gaining traction that were published a long time ago. Last month, @bogomil, who writes about Security and IT, wrote a story on why There is No Job Security in IT🤣. While this story was published over a month ago, it still got thousands of views in June and has cracked over 11,000 total reads. Kudos!
   

Those were just 4 success stories from our contributors this month, of which we have thousands! We can’t fit them all in this post, but do know that we value all of your work.

The Weekly Writing Tip

“Do not hurry; do not rest.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Consistency is key in most things in life, and writing is no different. It’s totally ok to take a break but the longer the break, the harder it is to get back into the groove. Even if it is just 1 paragraph a day, force yourself to stay in the habit of writing. Just like exercise, it’s easier to maintain than to regain.

If you need some help staying on track, consider applying to our blogging fellowship.

That’s all folks! Have a productive day and we’re looking forward to reading your next story.\

Cheers,
