Oh cool! I'm hoping to see if you have Nuxt up there. Congrats!
I guess it is a small win. Participating on the New Year writing challenge. This would be a challenge where I would like to participate in all 3.
For now, here is the first one.

My 2025 Roadmap As An Entrepreneur

Sounds like it was exciting :) Nice work!
Creating 2 open source projects:
That first one sounds like a real time-saver, and a tool people who needed it would enjoy using. Good job on both!
I worked on fixing a very tricky bug on my own site where users's post are private to their authors. Also, started researching on Nvidia nim docs, so far so good.
Diving into docs feels terrific when you're ready to actually learn instead of just ready to just get something done. Have a great time!
Yes, some sites are doing a great job at writing documentation, providing integrations and publishing the api, it sometimes can be overwhelming due to incompatible codebases, as well.
Remember the days when that wasn't the case? And you had to hope that a good book was written for the technology?...
I wrote my first RFC β¨
Dang, that seems like a major triumph that probably involved lots of testing and analysis, and talking with others and gauging their interest and opinions, revisions, rethinking, and more revisions. haha Not to mention writing it clearly -- which is not so easy when it comes to describing scenarios. Hope you treat yourself to something really nice. Terrific job!
Thank you so much, Akbaran!! True, was so much effort but I am so proud π
I wrote an article almost every day, trying to build up consistency.

Doing these sign-ins is a great convenience for me as a user, but as a dev it seems like it'd be daunting. Well, now I can get an idea how it's done from your articles. I'm sure they're very illuminating. Thanks!
Thanks a lot!
Started a new job with cool guys and interesting projects.
haha A double-win, indeed!
Fixed a division bug and launched my uint256 library on crates.io. It's a 256-bit unsigned integer type implemented from scratch with no dependencies.
Part of my continuous work on Monet, an infrastructure toolkit for bridging EVM-WASM at Filecoin.
NO DEPENDENCIES!?!?! CLEEEEEAN!!
Seems like you're a level 70 Rustacean. (I just turned level 2 ten minutes ago. :D)
Thanks for the kind words. I've been in and out of Rust for several years. You can do it too.
Hey thanks Pan! Appreciate the encouragement. I'll do my best.
I started applying to developer positions!
A couple of the places have been waiting for you to apply. They'll be glad to offer you the spot. Good move!
I accept this vibe. Haha.
haha Cool.
I had made a daily plan in order to have a scheduled day for learning new languages and interacting with the developer community, having mostly developed in isolation the past year.
The schedule is already falling apart, and so does my sleeping schedule. But good news, since this first week I am getting out of my comfort zone (not confining only to TypeScript and React but installing / trying out C and Rust, and trying to work with people)
Haha The year is still young. Stay true Rinkaku! Do you mean actually coding on the same project with people?
yeah i think collaborating on the same project with people would be good. my more important priority is to open up and chat with other developers, and then it is collaborations
Well that sounds cool. Are the local meetups in your area?
yes, sorry for the late reply but i have found one, only i have not gone to it yet. Lately I was a bit busy learning C and screaming at pointers
hahah as they deserve. Oh cool. Let me know how it goes whenever you do go to the meetup. Good luck with C.
