What was your win this week?

I received the node badge on Dev.to for my post on express!

Express Setup: Simple & Scalable

Some of you might remember my “New Year’s resolution” about speaking at a conference.
This might still be a bit unofficial, but hmm… early spring in Bologna sounds AWESOME 😄

I worked on one side project of mine. Improved its UI and added some features that I need.
In turn it helped me improve my starter template that I built to get quickly up and running on new projects.

I've got the Python badge on DEV.to for my post about DEV.to stats.
It’s a personal win — more of a quiet joy than a reward. And the fact that I earned it with an article about understanding the “life” of a post on DEV.to just feels right. It resonates with why I wrote it in the first place.

I was able to wrap my head around the fact that "Not everything is an agent... sometimes it's just an AI workflow"

And I wrote an ELI5 blog that explains the difference between AI workflows and Agents with the help of LEGOs. <3
Fun!

Our job is fixing two quite same legacy world scale webapp system - including inhouse version handling system. Each of these codbase was old, do so many mistace in architectual decision to a CVD ( CV Driven ) coding method ( Initialy package.json was 300 + lines ). The AWS cloud infrastructure also have a bad decision, so a real challenging is put that program to DEV - then we realize DEV is not exsist. After few weeks fight with devops team, we get a new DEV environment. -> version handling tool is so complex to fail to start and this is resonate AWS bad practices.

So on a previous week I was vibe code a POC version of tool. My goals is:

• check copilot CLI vibe capability : OK
• proof my minimal JS FW is worth : OK
• make a fast Docerfile tester : OK
• check the DynamoDB connection on AWS : OK
• proof the overcomplicated react will be replaced something fare easier : OK
• proof the jsDock is the cheapest way for type safe : OK

So I am very happy with this resul, everything is working as we expect.
POC code is working perfectly.

Compare old building size: 900kb a POC is 16kb ( withot zip )

My FW is found this article - which is a game for a hackaton but the real useful part contain in a fencer.js + vite.config.js is the important (repo link in article). But actually this FW don't communicated is a usefull one, technicaly this is the second program which is show it is working, maybe in the future I will reach the early pre beta state.

FW concept is burrowing instead of npm install to avoide dependency hell, coder maintanance latency.

I managed to rewrite my personal portfolio in astro from Gridsome which no longer receives updates. I'm also happy to say I have open sourced the project for others to learn from and use

Attempting the StackOverflow challenge for alphabet decoder.

Yes, it is hosted on netlify for now.
It is currently very much catered towards my requirements :p
but would love to share here as well.

It's a small UI I built to track my investments, set targets, and see the total net worth in one place.
It's completely offline as it stores data in your browser and has no backend.
There are apps that do it but they require access to several stuff which I don't want to give due to privacy reasons.

Let me know your thoughts if you try it. Thank you :)
