The Mobile Debugging Writing Contest: Round 5 Nominees 🔥

As usual, we’ve picked our nominees by selecting the top story submissions that generated the most traffic. HackerNoon’s editorial team then voted for the top three winners.
Here is the list of nominees:

#MobileDebugging: Round 5 Winners 🔥🔥🔥

The first place goes to @r4m’s story:

To conclude, William Arthur Ward used to say that The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.

I'm pleased to say that our team demonstrated strength and resilience in responding quickly to a critical event that could have permanently compromised the reliability of our app and our business. We remained level-headed and optimistic, believing that we could overcome the challenge through teamwork and collaboration.

Congratulations on taking first place and winning $500! Well-deserved 🔥

The second place and most-read story award go to:

As a tech professional, I was attracted by this recent AI craze and decided to find out what ChatGPT is truly capable of. Also, it wasn’t just curiosity that drove me; having invested a lot of time and resources into learning how to code, it was quite scary that a new bot will just come into town and begin to take away much-desired coding jobs. That was not a very pleasant thought.


You regularly participate in the HackerNoon contests,@oliveremeka :) Congratulations on winning $400!!

Last but not least, the third place goes to another story on AI and testing:

The rise of AI has led to questions about the future of quality assurance specialists. Will AI solutions eventually replace human expertise? Is there a way to strike a balance between ChatGPT-like tools and human knowledge?

Congratulations @sandra-parker! You have won $100!
