What was your win this week?!

I recently wrote an article on Dev.to and was honestly overwhelmed by the response from the community. So many people resonated with what I shared. I truly didn’t expect such warmth and support.

I’m really grateful for this platform and for the incredible community that continues to encourage and uplift new voices. The love and feedback I received means a lot and motivates me to keep sharing and improving.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to read and engage with my work. Incase, you are wondering this is my article.

Great achievements so far!

• Made a post on "Why did you become a Developer" last week and got a lot of attention, which led me into getting a Top Author for #Discuss!
• Posted my Monthly Report this for month of my accomplishments!

Great week so far and congrats to others as well :D

Start to make a new WASM text format, which is much more to fit my Z80 assembler memoire. At least I try to more understand WASM as ever before.

Being in the Top 7 this week felt fantastic. Writing about RFC 2334 was especially rewarding, and drafting RFC 1516 in response to a joke from @sylwia-lask was a real highlight. All in all, it’s been an incredibly fun and energizing week!

Not a lot of wins this week just stabilizing into my new job, restarting on some side projects and language practice as time and energy allows. Also started training for calisthenics (again). Planned out my next month's goals too.

This week I attended a few meetups around my city and made interesting connections. My weekly post here actually surfaces the importance of human connections in the age of AI and my thoughts on this.

I’ve made another YouTube video :) Even though under 2 minutes, it still feels rewarding.

I’ve discovered that it’s great for build in public - it’s like I’m just showing a colleague what I’m doing. It’s really super easy to make !

Ok on this, I can say I got started with GitHub so far this week. Getting introduced to Gitbash, and some new commands haha 😁.... It's really a baby step for me, but I'm dedicated to learning and getting better.

Launched Omnismith in public beta - a data management platform I originally built to solve my own problems. Years of building admin panels for clients, hitting the same limitations over and over, eventually turned into: why not build the tool I actually want?

Everything was done by one person. The architecture, the frontend, the infrastructure, integrating payments, setting up a legal entity while in immigration, in a country that isn't mine, in a second language.

The launch was quiet. But what stayed with me is how differently I now think about building from zero. Not "what's the fastest way to ship" or "make the code clean and maintainable" but what actually holds a product together long-term - technically, legally, commercially.

Genuinely one of the hardest and most rewarding things I've done as an engineer.

My win this week was long-coming: (slight) blog redesign: nikola-breznjak.com/blog

As I got back into writing, it finally had to be done (it only took me several years) 😅

I also published a post, a rather weird take, on utilizing one's monitor.

Have a nice weekend y'all 👋
