Start to make a new WASM text format, which is much more to fit my Z80 assembler memoire. At least I try to more understand WASM as ever before.

I recently wrote an article on Dev.to and was honestly overwhelmed by the response from the community. So many people resonated with what I shared. I truly didn’t expect such warmth and support.

I’m really grateful for this platform and for the incredible community that continues to encourage and uplift new voices. The love and feedback I received means a lot and motivates me to keep sharing and improving.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to read and engage with my work. Incase, you are wondering this is my article.

I’ve made another YouTube video :) Even though under 2 minutes, it still feels rewarding.

I’ve discovered that it’s great for build in public - it’s like I’m just showing a colleague what I’m doing. It’s really super easy to make !

This week I attended a few meetups around my city and made interesting connections. My weekly post here actually surfaces the importance of human connections in the age of AI and my thoughts on this.

Launched Omnismith in public beta - a data management platform I originally built to solve my own problems. Years of building admin panels for clients, hitting the same limitations over and over, eventually turned into: why not build the tool I actually want?

Everything was done by one person. The architecture, the frontend, the infrastructure, integrating payments, setting up a legal entity while in immigration, in a country that isn't mine, in a second language.

The launch was quiet. But what stayed with me is how differently I now think about building from zero. Not "what's the fastest way to ship" or "make the code clean and maintainable" but what actually holds a product together long-term - technically, legally, commercially.

Genuinely one of the hardest and most rewarding things I've done as an engineer.

It's a Friyaay!

This week was a lot of engineering fun. Thanks to the writing rhythm that I learned on dev.to, I've managed to connect the dots between my two previous posts and out of that born something anew: Why /bootstrap should be the first Command in every Agent session

It basically combines Backbone patterns and Mermaid workflows into one action, ensuring context correctness for coding agents.

My biggest win this week was officially launching an open-source tool I've been pouring my heart into: snip! 🎉

As someone who basically lives in the terminal, I was completely tired of constantly hunting through my .bash_history or scattered notes for that one specific command or Docker script I use once a month.

So, I built a solution! snip is a lightweight, cross-platform CLI for saving, searching, sharing, and running reusable code and shell snippets instantly. ⚡️

A few features I'm really proud to have shipped:

🖥️ Interactive TUI: Fuzzy search through all your snippets instantly (snip ui).

⚙️ Parameterized Snippets: Add variables like {{name}} so the CLI prompts you for values before running.

🔄 Cloud Sync: Push and pull your snippets directly to/from GitHub Gists.

⌨️ Shell Widget: A Ctrl+G hotkey to search and paste snippets right into your prompt!

Seeing it go live on npm (snip-manager) and getting the docs polished up was a massive milestone for me this week.

If you're a terminal junkie like me, I'd absolutely love for you to check it out, give it a star, or drop some feedback on the repo!

What do you all think? Hope everyone else had a productive week too! 🍻

My win this week was long-coming: (slight) blog redesign: nikola-breznjak.com/blog

As I got back into writing, it finally had to be done (it only took me several years) 😅

I also published a post, a rather weird take, on utilizing one's monitor.

Have a nice weekend y'all 👋

Ok on this, I can say I got started with GitHub so far this week. Getting introduced to Gitbash, and some new commands haha 😁.... It's really a baby step for me, but I'm dedicated to learning and getting better.
