Devember/Minecraft Prize Pool

Still a wip , no partiular order , pool for both Devember and minecraft projects though linode is providing the grand prize for the Devember challenge :slight_smile:

Asrock z390 steel legend motherboard

Asus x299 motherboard (not sure which maybe the prime?) 30th edition

(Note this might not end up being the reference version)

Ryzen 5 3600x. Cpu only

Itx cpu/mobo

I-5 8600k and h370m itx. I could probably be talked into trading you the itx board for a desktop z370/90 atx board. Maybe.

This older intel itx mobo and cpu (but that’s it nothing else in the photo)

Runner up and or ewaste prizes. Random trash books

Z370 icraft gaming mobo

Devember WINNERS

YT Link:

So the way this works is we ranked the winners, and are going in order contacting each one.

We might have more winners in MC because we had more overall participation over there and the projects were mind blowing

If winners don’t respond within a day or so, we’ll go on down the list and let someone else pick from the prize pool.

I never posted my actual project on github, or finished it for that matter:(
But I learned, anyway I wasn’t going for the prize. Yet how did I get the Devember badge though?

if you just posted, you at least got the badge :slight_smile:

You learned something, right? if so good work. Just no prize for you :stuck_out_tongue:

I never figured on getting the prize. I just wanted to do a project with Python.

Also, funny story. My Devember project led me to find PyCharm and Jetbrains was in the news this week lol.

No project is ever finished. One just reaches a state where others won’t judge them for improving it no further :wink:

(We’re a very ego-centric people like that)

Yeah, but mine doesn’t even work. And I still largely feel lost when working on it.

Don’t worry there are plenty of people out there that will happily exploit your imposter syndrone to try to convince you to do stupid mind-numbing work in a medium they themselves don’t understand for low pay/no pay. Just notice it and you’ll eventually get the hang of it :slight_smile:

Let me write a program to process that sentence Wendell xD. I’ll probably understand the output better.

Let me help you out:

If(skilLevel>industryStandard&&cost<industryStandard)
{
while(gulibility>selfRespect)
{
menialTask(selfRespect);

//has potential to impact self respect variables causing a potentially infinite loop

if(taskStupidity > gulibility)
{
gulibility- -;
}

}

} else {
jobOffer(skillLevel, gulibility);
//function has tendency to extremely low ball
}

Congratulations to all the winners!
