My win this week was finally starting a series I've been thinking about for a while.

It's called Dev Opportunity Radar, and the goal is pretty simple: share opportunities, resources, and other interesting finds every Friday.

I've missed a lot of opportunities over the years simply because I never came across them at the right time, so I figured I'd start sharing the ones I do find.

The first edition is live: Dev Opportunity Radar #1: A 100ドルK AI Grant, Two Fellowships, and an AI Agent Resource

I'd love to turn this into something community-driven over time, so if you come across opportunities, resources, or communities worth sharing, let me know.

Excited to see where this goes.

Thank you so much, Josh 😃

I'd love for it to become something the community contributes to over time, so if you ever come across something worth sharing, definitely send it my way.

And thanks for the follow 😄

Few of my Pull Requests got merged onto Forem (dev.to). One of them is the removal of RunKit since RunKit is no longer supported on dev.to:

Made a feature request for dev.to in where we need a feature to privately message users instead of chatting in some post that is irrelevant to the post. Would be nice to have a mailbox system where we can Direct Message users privately instead of doing it in some random comment section. Need feedback and opinions on this: github.com/forem/forem/discussions...

Have been spending a lot of time this week connecting with tech folks at events around Toronto as part of Toronto Tech Week. I gave a demo of some of my latest projects at a Shopify event.
And I wrote my weekly post here.
This weekend I will try to spend as much time outdoors to enjoy the good weather.

I've managed to run my startup's entire code locally, removing AWS completely. Even my LLM is running on my own 3090s now. The only thing left is to find a good TTS model (11labs parity) and try Qwen VL Multimodal embeddings instead of vertex ai.

Attaching a video made entirely with 1703 soon.

Also a calm week:

I was mostly learning/structuring my knowledge around writing good API documentation.
I continued with my blog about technical writing -> maybe I will deploy it soon 🤔

Have a nice weekend ahead! 👋🏻

The heat got the better of me this week; I wouldn't say I was productive, but I still managed to code a small prospecting app for a project I'm trying to market (but I'm not a natural salesperson, that's the hardest part for me). PHP, a simple MVC architecture, MariaDB, and I'm happy with the result... since I'm the only user, I don't have to worry about how my team will react! 😁

Revived an old project that was biting dust and got it working. The idea is as follows:
Piwapp: A WhatsApp client and MCP purely written in Python
piwapp lets your Python code send and receive WhatsApp messages. You scan a QR code once (like WhatsApp Web), and that's it.

What makes it different: it's 100% Python. No browser running in the background, no Node, no Go. Even the encryption is written in Python.

It also has an MCP server, so you can let an AI like Claude or Copilot do it for you. You just say stuff like:

"Text Mom I'm running late" "What did the team group say today?" And it works. Texts, groups, photos, files, all of it. It's free and open source.

I put that in for submission as well

Link

Would appreciate your votes and hope you find it useful!

i had a tuogh week. my mother got sick so we need to stay at hospital and keep following health cares and surjery thingns. and me in some free time ive had , i build the deploy-mate cli system to auto deploy and build ci cd. yeah thats it. uh i forgot to mention im about to get a hard (وام و پرداخت سنگین اقساط( to buy a new bike! i reaI had a pretty tough week.

My mom got sick, so we've been spending a lot of time at the hospital, keeping up with appointments, treatments, and surgery-related stuff. That's been my main focus lately.

In the little free time I had, I built DeployMate CLI— a tool that automates Docker deployments and CI/CD setup. It felt good to ship something despite everything else going on.

I also forgot to mention that I'm about to take out a pretty significant loan to buy a new motorcycle. I've wanted one for a long time and I'm really excited about it. For now, though, hospital expenses come first, so I'm trying to be careful with my money.

Not exactly the easiest week, but I'm proud that I still managed to build something and keep moving forward.lly love to take it but for now need to save my money for hospital ..
