Quite a big win for me — have published my first awesome-list and a newsletter both dedicated to metaframeworks and developing software with them

For now, here is the first one.

Creating 2 open source projects:

That first one sounds like a real time-saver, and a tool people who needed it would enjoy using. Good job on both!

I worked on fixing a very tricky bug on my own site where users's post are private to their authors. Also, started researching on Nvidia nim docs, so far so good.

Diving into docs feels terrific when you're ready to actually learn instead of just ready to just get something done. Have a great time!

Yes, some sites are doing a great job at writing documentation, providing integrations and publishing the api, it sometimes can be overwhelming due to incompatible codebases, as well.

Remember the days when that wasn't the case? And you had to hope that a good book was written for the technology?...

I wrote my first RFC ✨

Dang, that seems like a major triumph that probably involved lots of testing and analysis, and talking with others and gauging their interest and opinions, revisions, rethinking, and more revisions. haha Not to mention writing it clearly -- which is not so easy when it comes to describing scenarios. Hope you treat yourself to something really nice. Terrific job!

Doing these sign-ins is a great convenience for me as a user, but as a dev it seems like it'd be daunting. Well, now I can get an idea how it's done from your articles. I'm sure they're very illuminating. Thanks!

Fixed a division bug and launched my uint256 library on crates.io. It's a 256-bit unsigned integer type implemented from scratch with no dependencies.

Part of my continuous work on Monet, an infrastructure toolkit for bridging EVM-WASM at Filecoin.

Seems like you're a level 70 Rustacean. (I just turned level 2 ten minutes ago. :D)

Thanks for the kind words. I've been in and out of Rust for several years. You can do it too.
