My OCD exposure therapy went well and was able to resist the compulsion in record time!

Worked with @javz, @codingwithjiro, and @konark_13 on our upcoming post we are excited to share next week! If anyone is interested, please stay tuned next week Friday for the post on Gemma 4!

Everything is modest. Quiet. Routine.

I made a library for baking Lightmaps on the CPU. I fell in love with C, Python, and Ctypes - it's a really good combination. I haven't published it yet, but I hope to create a repo today.


Got an achievement in week 24.


Increased to 159 followers


I joined Game Jam by GameDev.tv. It seems I've found myself a partner, or a fellow sufferer if I screw up again. I hope I finish higher than 229th. 🥺


tl;dr A good, ordinary week. A bit rough. But at least something worked out.

I spent a few hours coding the old-fashioned way, without any AI assistance. Well, it was nice to get my hands dirty. And honestly, it helps keep my instincts sharp — without them, I might end up letting obvious mistakes slip by without even noticing…

My win this week, I published a new post on dev.to .!

Wrote about why AI actually made the hard parts of engineering harder, not easier - and it is getting some really good responses so far 😄

Also got the Git badge from last week's post, which was a nice little surprise 🏅 small thing but felt good .!

Grateful for this community - the discussions here always push the thinking further 🙌

I wrote tests for my app, to add to the CI/CD pipeline before my pushes to git and subsequent push to cloud run in GCP. It's now been three day since a Workplace (Code) Incident 🤣

I went further with open data aggregation around open data job offers. After a lot of cleanup, markdown structuration and data quality, I had the idea to try summarize a bunch of them on top of an aggregated textbook... and results are really looking good :

Marketing posters automation on top of job offers :

See tweets below :

As I also started to do this work on all job offers of a country, I decided to try a focus on health sector :

I made Claude Code do debugging session, instead of me ;)
It started the browser, navigated to a specific page, placed a breakpoint and started debugging ;)

I will make the repository public and share an article here, once I cover more cases and fine-tune the approach ;)

Impressive job with the meal prep and sticking to it all week! That kind of consistency is tough. I finally sorted out a tricky recursive function that was giving me trouble. I've been using prachub.com for system design mocks. The follow-up questions are a lot like what I've faced in real interviews, not just random blog advice.

Biggest win this week was finally stepping back and realizing how far a side project evolved over the past months.

Started as simple EVM monitoring experiments and somehow turned into replay systems, runtime correlation, relationship graphs, delivery pipelines and historical execution reconstruction.

Spent a lot of late nights rebuilding large parts of the architecture, but this week was the first time the whole direction really started feeling coherent.

and payer-issued service attestations. 1,404 tests
passing across the codebase. Five phases, five
commits.

Also hit 18M+ blocks on the testnet with real
