The clear winner in first place with 40% of the votes is:

Don't get me wrong, it's great that there are so many ways to learn programming. However, many people get lost in all this. Should I learn through a course, go to a bootcamp or buy a book? What language to learn? Everyone responds differently. If you add to this the authors of texts and courses who pour water instead of writing specifically and clearly, entering the world of programming seems very chaotic and difficult.

That's why I found flashcards attractive, as opposed to the trend that discourages programming. You can fit very little information on a flashcard. However, this is still not interesting enough to reach for the flashcards. That's why I enriched them with sci-fi fantasy illustrations. In this way, they are beautiful and evoke Stoneheart or Magic The Gathering.

Congratulations, @tomaszs, your storytelling is lit 🔥🔥🔥. You have won $1,000!

In the second place, we have:

The growth loop for Netflix begins with providing a tailored viewing experience. Netflix is able to recommend new content and adapt its catalog to each individual user by utilizing data from customer viewing patterns and preferences. Customers are encouraged to explore more material and engage more deeply with the platform as a result of this.

Congratulations,@theweb3diary. You have won $600.

The story scoring the third position is:

Forget about useless checklists from 2017 - they don't work anymore. Communicate with your audience, spark them with your ideas, and always ask what they want to see on your channels. If you don't know how to move or you get stuck at some stage, it doesn't matter. Any difficulties are solvable, and, as we have already demonstrated above, there are plenty of tools for promotion.

Well-deserved @pavlokarapinka! You have won $400.
