I released the 3rd beta version of my dream project SDF Editor! It was challenging, and I learned a lot along the way, but the most important thing I realized was that Tkinter shouldn't be used with Imgui, at least not the way I did it! (I ran Tkinter in a separate thread.)

A week of quiet wins and lively conversations.

The PHP/Symfony community kept things interesting, with @jeandevbr publishing a thoughtful piece that builds nicely on recent discussions. Watching ideas circulate, evolve, and occasionally come back smarter than they left is one of the best parts of writing here.

I also finalized my personal dev.to publishing tool. The built-in editor is genuinely great and a pleasure to use, but I still enjoy tinkering with my own setup — equal parts practicality and harmless stubbornness. Let’s call it “artisan workflow engineering.” And you know how it goes: some habits age like fine wine, others like friendly dinosaurs 😁

The reading queue was once again full of gems. Choosing a weekly Top 7 is never straightforward when so many strong articles compete for attention. A difficult selection usually means a healthy community.

This week was about a big win for me:

  • I'm not fully dedicated to Reporails (Codex and Copilot adapters are being added very soon)

I also wrote some guidance to reduce exploration tax to coding agents that we all pay

Fun times ^^

ps.: I'm forever grateful for the "What was your win this week" series, I read so many wins and it gives such uplifting energies

I released another post! Writing them by hand is quite some work :)

Also, I worked on my pet projects and half-implemented a new little game. It is going to be fun I hope but it still has a bunch of issues. Maybe some success story for next week!
