Finding a ransom note while fixing Production (It's fixed).

Also, great seeing a lot of people having good discussions in this post. Interesting to hear other's people perspective on what makes content good or bad:

Getting featured on Top 7 articles that is this week's biggest win
I reached 5Billion token usage on Claude code 😂 I would consider that as a win

Spent the whole week writing about Brazilian elections, and I'm really proud of the final result. It's tech-related, but not exactly DEVto material, IMO.

But I'm proud of it.

Also, learned a new recipe to cook

Spent the week doing a strict audit of my MCP server (codebase intelligence for AI coding agents) — closed out a nasty embedder bug that was silently truncating requests differently than the tokenizer expected, and fixed a stale-lock issue that could hang the whole indexer on multi-window setups.

Also caught myself validating the wrong file while "fixing" a benchmark — published the correction anyway instead of quietly re-running it. Small win, but writing that down publicly felt like the right kind of accountability.

My win this week was finally publishing my first technical article on Dev.to about why I chose an offline-first approach while building a password manager.

Still early days, but it feels good to ship something and share what I’m learning along the way. 🚀

DevPub is now live for the DEV Community.

It’s an open-source CLI for managing DEV.to content directly from the terminal from publishing and updating articles to analytics, validation, trends, and AI-agent workflows.

The goal is to make content management more automation-friendly for developers and AI agents.

Would love to get feedback from the DEV community.

Moved!

Also, added around 200k LOC across Dwarven Stronghold (400k LOC) and V.E.L.O.C.I.T.Y. IDE (280k LOC). And started a new project (50k LOC in) for what hopefully lands me a job at Temporal (Basically rebuilding their entire stack from scratch, but in Rust with all my advancements from across my projects). Sofar 2 key takeaways O(1) resumes work and it's zero-allocation.

Happy weekend to everyone I just have a hardcoded appeal to Friday's 🙃 okay away from that.

My win this week was completing & submitting my digital magazine project .
At 1st I clicked on signup and then I unclicked it few seconds later . I honestly never wanted to attempt any of those due to poor engagement but after reading a post dev.to/sylwia-lask/stop-calling-ev... from 1 of my favourites 🤔 I rethought about some things and personal evaluation. Long story short I submitted 1 of my project ideas. Great community TGiF 👌
