First, but with Feeling.

I got the ice breaker Badge, Which mean first, but with feeling. :)

The badge is for consistently making the first supportive or helpful comment on a blog post. Better than old net days of yelling First, which was annoying, this badge is for helping to open a discussion.

melting icecube as the icebreaker badge

Feels cool to help the DEV community like this.

So to start another discussion, what do you think of new badges?

What are you trying to earn?

Next for me is some HacktoberFest Badges.

Have a great night.

That's a really cool badge! I didn't know it existed, but I guess it's good to have people that regularly start discussion on posts. You can write anything in a post, but the real sign of a good community is the quality of the commentary below.

Great work, Chris!

It's new, DEV announced it last month or the month before.

Oh hah. I got it too today, was a bit surprised, given I don't really first-comment that much... 😄

Hadn't realised it was a recently-announced badge.
