I agreed to give a talk at the content-related meetup in my country! 🙈 I will share my experience adding AI support to our company's documentation processes. This is a big step out of my comfort zone, but I feel I can do it! 💪🏻 The meetup is in June, please keep your fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Also, I got a new badge: 1 Week Community Wellness Streak 🎉

Small win, but feels like an important one.

Shipped a new post + landing around SEO in 2026 and started testing ideas on my own site instead of just reading about them.

Main shift for me this week: stopped thinking in “topics to write about” and started thinking in “things a user (or model) actually wants to do”.

Still early, not sure if any of this will work — but at least now it feels like I’m learning something real instead of just guessing.

Curious what everyone else is testing right now — feels like a weird moment to build anything))

My biggest win this week: I finally took the plunge and published my first-ever article on DEV!

It's the first part of a series on setting up secure remote server monitoring using VPN sidecars in Docker. It took some effort to structure my infrastructure experience into a post, but I'm feeling pretty proud of getting it out there.

If anyone is into DevOps, Docker networking, or home labs, I'd love to hear your feedback.

  • Paid few bills off and set some of them to auto pay.
  • Improved performance of critical production APIs by ~10%
  • Setup VPN tunneling for home server.
  • Spent some time reading The Second Mountain
  • Looked into PocketBase for an easy backend access for public facing apis.
  • Walked around 10k steps two days out of five (transitioning to summer habits).
