They wanted it for adding things like demo steps, implementation tasks and definition of done to stories they pick up.

I migrated my two blogs from WordPress to Astro in three days... thanks to AI, which helped me resolve the bugs I couldn't fix! It's online, and I no longer have to worry about maintenance.

I've started learning Rust, and I see it as a win

I gave Rust a try a few years back, working on a small OS for the rp2040. I was about a week into the project when I hit a bizarre and frustrating problem: my development machine started getting a 'Blue Screen of Death' every single time I tried to compile.

I hadn't seen a BSOD in ages! The main draw for me was Rust's promise of memory safety, so having the compiler itself crash my entire OS felt deeply ironic. It was discouraging enough that I ended up stepping away from Rust.

I'm curious if anyone else ever experienced system-level instability with the toolchain back then?

Haha, fingers crossed your journey is much smoother than mine was!

To answer your question, I'm actually working on my own interpreter language called jdBasic. It's written in C++ and already runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and in the browser.

My big project right now is trying to get it ported over to the rp2040 as well, which is what brought back those old memories! If you're curious, the project is at jdBasic.

It wasn't really my win, but we still got a few cool pull requests accepted for our project participating in Hacktoberfest 2025. It's awesome; we've done a lot of great work this month:
