I treated myself to the remake of Silent Hill 2 to play over Christmas and got a couple of hours into it before the first boss fight. I then uninstalled it because I'm 20 years older than when I played it through last and can't be dealing with repeatedly trying to complete a stupid mini-game with an unskippable cutscene and sluggish tank controls. It's a great game, but... boss fights ruin great games. They take the atmosphere that's built over hours of puzzle-solving and remind you you're playing a video game. A lot of modern games have a "story" difficulty setting, and I used to think it was silly, but nowadays not so much. SH2 on easy combat difficulty was making me sad.
So like I said, I uninstalled it.
Then this week I reinstalled it and downloaded a cheat which I turn on for the boss fights. I just god-mode through them and don't have any regrets. Life's too short.
And I'm happily playing the next spooky part.
In a first time I solved a cloud cost mystery on my CV analyzer - turned out the "obvious" bot cost €0.01/month, not more. Real culprit: WebSocket timeouts. One config change → -93.5% cost
And I started writing again! Working on a new project and documenting the journey. Feels good to be back at it.
woohoo!!
I released the beta version of my dream project and wrote this long post!
successfully hosted one app on cloudflare track-habits.xyz
simple and most effective I used to track in excel but I always struggle so I make my own the goal is to keep it simple
Nice tool, brother. Kindly explain how it works?
Hello brother, let me explain how it works.
I tried many routine and habit tracker apps, but most of them are too fancy — too many pages, features, and complexity. Also, many of them don’t have a simple monthly tracker where you just complete a habit and tick it off.
So I built a very simple, purely client-side app. There’s no signup or login required. You just add habits from Manage Habits or the Add New Habit dialog, and it shows empty boxes in a monthly habit table.
Whenever you complete a habit, you mark the box. From that, it calculates things like success rate, last 3 days momentum, and habit-specific consistency.
The main goal is to help people who struggle to maintain a routine by keeping everything simple and distraction-free. I can make complex tool but it complexity doesnt matter in routine tool it should be simple the adding habit and marking it should not feel task in itself so i make these.
Currently it is desktop tool only .
Aaah! Now I understand.
I'll be trying it out
Had to smile at the "Fixed code for a vibe coder..." bullet point!
Started learning basic robotics with a starter kit. As a software engineer I want to broaden my intuitions towards hardware too. So many new things to learn, makes me very excited to continue.
Share a link to the kit?
Here it is
UNO R3 Super Starter Kit
Serveral small wins this week. Being able to engage with some of the wonderful members of this community. Making sure I continue to learn something everyday via freeCodeCamp. Lastly, using my writing as a way to stay consistent on my learning journey.
I made my 1st Lovable template + launched it as a side project!
This week I started learning the Rust language through the Rustlings course.
I have currently completed 77/94 exercises.
I also started my own project (a seedless web3 wallet) to learn developing product using Rust and GitHub Copilot.
Now I 'm struggling with MCP concept to run own MCP server for my project.
I'm happy to finally share a personal project with the community: The lightweight, high-speed Postbear API client. github.com/carban/postbear
Here is the first article!!
I released (and made a demo) about along awaited feature : a native
duckdbexport ingeol, which will open datascience and dataviz opportunities. In the plan I want to produce some ready-to-use Quarto notebooks ;-pA blog post that I wrote has started getting traction
I wrote my first two articles ever for my Technical Writing portfolio. Here's to a new step in my career!
An excellent start to your time here at dev.to, Brandon. Well done!
Hello.
That is good breakdown.
How can I join your google developer team?
Built from scratch and released my own browser extension for Youtube that hides shorts, comments, recommendations and other stuff to focus on what really matters. Got it in 3 days and i'm very proud of myself
