I am proud of releasing an article on Gemma 4 featuring @codingwithjiro, @konark_13, and @javz! This took a lot of time and effort! Glad to meet them on zoom outside of DEV for the first time! If you like to take a look, feel free to read it below:
Gemma 4 Challenge: Write about Gemma 4 Submission

Thank you guys for sharing your Gemma 4 experience!

It's an honor for me as well. Let's go DEVengers!!!
@francistrdev @javz @konark_13
Really glad to working with an awesome developer like you. Learned a lot and your part in the article is much more easy and fun to read. You write pretty well. Keep writing and building.
Was super fun collaborating with you on this challenge! Cheers to more in the future! @francistrdev @codingwithjiro @konark_13

It was too much fun collaborating with you all @francistrdev, @codingwithjiro and @javz. The thing I missed was a little of chaos haha as everything went pretty smooth and Francis made the article even more fun and informative with his choice or words and awesomeness.

This week was super productive for me, full of things I've done for the first time in my life! Some highlights:
Gemma 4 Challenge: Build With Gemma 4 Submission
Recycling made easy: a Polish recycling assistant powered by Gemma 4
I'm very grateful and hopeful for what the future holds 🌻
Wow, what a range of activities!
A nice list of accomplishments!
As a Notion MCP challenge winner, I had a meeting with Ivan Zhao - the founder of Notion himself, along with the awesome guys from Major League Hacking and another winner of the same challenge, whose project was super cool.
To say that it was a great experience is an understatement. I still can't comprehend somethink like that actually happened to be honest. 😄
Today I got my 32 Week Community Wellness Streak Badge 🥳

Welcome 🙌🏻
Applied for the "Gemma 4 challenge" ; if you like french accent, open source and Kaggle, this may interest you:
Haha great pitch
LOL thanks... some may find this sexy or attractvie...;-p
That was so spontaneous 🤣
This week's win: tracked down a gnarly production race in a RabbitMQ→backend consumer. A POST that exceeded the timeout was being retried — but the backend was still processing the original request, so the retry fired a concurrent duplicate and they deadlocked each other.
The fix shipped as a declarative feature in my open-source framework, Mycel (config-driven microservices in Go): you can now say on_timeout { action = "ack" } to drop a timed-out idempotent request instead of retrying it, and the dedupe layer commits its fingerprint on that ack so the redelivered duplicate gets filtered too. Two releases, end-to-end fix, no application code.
Writing the whole thing up properly soon — but the repo's the real win this week 🙂
Revisited one of my earlier article for instruction system capability ladder
Also released Reporails 0.5.10 with included MEMORY checks and broken markdown link validator.
Busy busy week
Created a MCP and did a demo on how helpful it is to find and apply to a job :
Released new security trends about OpenBao
Collaborated on this post alongside @francistrdev , @codingwithjiro and @konark_13 !
Was a fun experience and felt refreshing to work on something as a group vs writing individually on DEV.
Also wrote my individual weekly post here and made progress on some side projects.
Been taking dance lessons and feeling progress. Rumba and Foxtrot are the dances I am focussing on atm.
Have a great weekend all!
It was awesome working with you. You are an awesome developer and even more awesome person.
We need to see your moves someday. Maybe a small performance in the Toronto tech events. Our very own dancing developer who explains concepts using dance moves. Awesome keep learning, building and dancing.
Thanks Konark for the nice words! You are also awesome!
Haha that sounds like a cool concept.
