Promoted to Senior Full-Stack Developer at CALEC!
I'm tired boss
Made it a full week without touching the Switch games before bed.😂
I am still around, recovering from burnout. Turns out sometimes the best you can do is to unplug for a while. Spend time in nature. Make some art. Sit in silence. At least it works for me.
So, as for my wins this week, I would list:
Take care, folks! 💛
Hey Klaudia! I would recommend doing once a week instead of having to do a lot in a week and get burn out on the next. It helps me and If you are planning on consistent post, this is usually ideal. Glad you are feeling okay!
Hey Francis! Thanks for reaching out; your comments somehow always boost my mood 🙂
Do you mean that you set yourself a routine, for example, to write and publish a post on DEV once a week?
Exactly! It is what I have been doing for the past 5 months or so and it work well. @sylwia-lask and @hemapriya_kanagala does the same as well (though I am realizing Hema and I have the same posting schedule which is every monday lol).
Hahaha true! Although sometimes I consider publishing two articles in a week... But usually I'm to busy and I'm staying with one, which is perfectly enough :)
As someone who has taken a couple of months to recover from burnout, I feel this. I had completely shut down for a while, but I've decided to get back at it, and I'm making sure to pace myself this time around.
Launched profile pages for Old Light!

I just launched a new website this week: the blog section of my company website.
It is a French-only blog, built with Astro 7 and the Stardrive theme.
To launch it properly, I wrote four articles this week, all based on my own experience from years of working with websites, infrastructure, and software projects.
One small technical detail I enjoyed building: I created a custom component specifically for this blog — a reusable CTA block that can be inserted at the end of articles.
Nothing revolutionary, but it is a good example of why I like static site generators: simple architecture, fast pages, and full control over the codebase.
Next step: keep writing and see how the content evolves over time.
I launched the 2nd book of my coding trilogy: Street-Smart Coding Manifeso :)
One of my win was to complete a blog on my first Gen AI project for which I've been procrastinating for weeks now. You can go and checkout on my profile.
I got my portfolio up and running and I plan on adding more features as I make more progress in my work.
I built my first agentic-ai product and after much debugging, it's working! I'm so proud of it even though it's the MVP!
Got a new badge <3
Lunching my 1st ever open source project tomorrow to help dev.to community 😇
GitRepo -github.com/simplynadaf/devpub
Demo Here - youtu.be/u8H2BITfYjc?si=380RDejX20...
@jess Need your feedback and guidance 🙏🏻
It's live now - dev.to/sarvar_04/introducing-devpu...
Successfully published two more posts on DEV and other platforms.
I took a step really rapidly. I mean I moved my feet too fast, didn't really aim, and I kicked my foot into the door.
The door was half open.
So the 90 degree corner of the door wedged between the little toe and the rest of the toe.
I almost broke my little toe this way (the base of the toe's bone could've broken).
But... just almost.
So I can still walk, it just hurts.
This is a win!
This week, I managed to help a few Firefox users on Reddit troubleshoot some persistent bugs (history clearing crashes on iPad, and YouTube audio issues).
It felt great to see their frustration turn into relief. I also encouraged one of them to submit crash logs to Mozilla's Bugzilla to help devs track down the root cause permanently.
Small win, but happy to give back to the community! 🎉 Happy Friday, everyone!
Brainstorm my new personal website and finalized the theme, style, and visual elements~
I got laid off, today was my last day after 30 days notice period.
I’m in the final stages of launching my own e-commerce brand 🙌🏼 Feeling motivated.
I’ve also started my MCP series in the developer community ❤️
Connect for more insights!
Being alive 😅
On a serious note, restarted be active here after many years, I just posted about the journey around the side project i'm currently building: Orateur an app who read your articles for you, you just have to listen. I added the import with the right format(bold, underline, code etc...), back to the top when you just finished listening(because of the auto scroll down)
Good week. Three PRs merged into NVIDIA's NeMo agent framework, and two of them were real code rather than docs. The one I'm happiest about was a test that passed while proving nothing: a mocked HTTP response was quietly sending the test down the failure path instead of the success path its own name described. Fixing it also took that file from about 5 seconds to 0.07.
The rest of the week was a debugging rabbit hole. My sandbox VM kept hanging mid-inference, and it turned out I'd given it all 8 vCPUs, so the model server was starving the guest kernel itself. The fix wasn't a CPU quota either, since CFS throttling wrecks llama.cpp's per-token sync. Pinning to six cores solved it. Those hard resets were also silently corrupting Ollama's content-addressed blobs, which led to a bug report with a reproducer, because ollama pull prints "verifying sha256 digest" and "success" over a file that doesn't match its own filename hash.
Also shipped a writeup and got a local model executing generated code in the sandbox for the first time.
Finished the loop engineering series yaay 🎉
now I can start the Adaptive Progressive Disclosure series
We finally officially launched the app we've been building and using internally with my team for 5 years...
Finished an annoying project
