Looking back on your week -- what was something you're proud of?
All wins count -- big or small 🎉
Examples of 'wins' include:
Happy Friday!
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.
This week submitted my first entry for DEV frontend challenge, trying to be consistent again on DEV
I've shared a small report about new SFTPGo - which is an amazing & powerful project - (see drakkan/sftpgo) release :
3 week into a Masters in SWE...been heading to classes after work, it's honestly been hard time wise. 12 weeks remaining...
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.
Finished my project for the Auth0 for AI Agents Challenge! 🎉

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:
github.com/hmpl-language/hmpl/pulls
I’ve earned my GitHub Foundations Certification yesterday, for that I’ve shared the full story in my article, my learning resources, and how you can earned your GitHub cert too
Degoogled my phone, disabled AI in my editor, and trying to restore my attention span from the goldfish state of the current world. Starting off in the first place seems like a win to me.
Been off coding for a while now. Work took over, but the love never left. Getting back slowly one line, one bug, one step at a time.
I made a trick or treat game with Phaserjs: codepen.io/codypearce/details/PwZaNEy
Ben awhile since I made games so I'm going to practice by making a different halloween game every day
Finished 2 projects for the Auth0 challenge here.
Worked with authentication and Supabase for the first time.
Organizing my first meetup in Amsterdam! Completely focused on soft skills. Can't wait!
I achieved a global rank 9th on codechef START209 contest. I don't think I can come any close to it for a long time now.
Finally figured out how to automate my crypto trading without accidentally triggering the "panic sell" button every time BTC sneezes.
I've been working on a new version of my website, and I got the theme changer implemented, which I'm stoked about. I have been working on this on and off for a while now

I added a new feature requested by a teammate to imdone-cli.
