  • Few of my Pull Requests got merged onto Forem (dev.to). One of them is the removal of RunKit since RunKit is no longer supported on dev.to:

Removal of RunKit (No longer Supported) #23151

[!IMPORTANT] Copilot CLI was used to identify and remove instances of RunKit and ensuring nothing is broken. Intensive review is nessesary to ensure nothing on Forem is broken as a result of the RunKit removal.

  • Made a feature request for dev.to in where we need a feature to privately message users instead of chatting in some post that is irrelevant to the post. Would be nice to have a mailbox system where we can Direct Message users privately instead of doing it in some random comment section. Need feedback and opinions on this: github.com/forem/forem/discussions...

Have been spending a lot of time this week connecting with tech folks at events around Toronto as part of Toronto Tech Week. I gave a demo of some of my latest projects at a Shopify event.
And I wrote my weekly post here.
This weekend I will try to spend as much time outdoors to enjoy the good weather.

My win this week was finally starting a series I've been thinking about for a while.

It's called Dev Opportunity Radar, and the goal is pretty simple: share opportunities, resources, and other interesting finds every Friday.

I've missed a lot of opportunities over the years simply because I never came across them at the right time, so I figured I'd start sharing the ones I do find.

The first edition is live: Dev Opportunity Radar #1: A $100K AI Grant, Two Fellowships, and an AI Agent Resource

I'd love to turn this into something community-driven over time, so if you come across opportunities, resources, or communities worth sharing, let me know.

Excited to see where this goes.
