Being named one of the Top 7 of the week—it's always a pleasant surprise—especially as I wasn't expecting it.
I bought a new domain name 😃
What's the domain name?? and how much?? :o
I'm still trying to figure out a good domain name for my art.
Built StacksNG for the Africa Deep Tech Challenge 2026: an offline AI coding assistant for the African fintech stack (Paystack, Flutterwave, Monnify, Termii).
Runs on an 8GB laptop, no GPU, no internet.
A DEV.to reader found 2 real bugs in it after I published my write-up. I fixed both, added regression tests, documented all of it.
Demo: youtu.be/Ab-XJ722bD8
Repo: github.com/dannwaneri/stacksng

Eh, not really a win. the database migration tool i've been working on for years, i have to rip it all apart because I'm thinking of building an offline, local, desktop app one instead because I don't like people's data going through a network just to migrate from one db to another.
I guess the win here is that i finished mapping out all the plans, what needs to be written and a newly chosen tech stack.
I also got an offer from a Malaysian bank for a senior dev position, already signed their paper and I'm joining them next month... bureaucracy! yikes!!
I got this masterpiece... 😍

Puts a 100k-row space dataset to the test
I Used React DataGrid to Build a Real Space Mission Explorer
And I reached these amazing stats this week 😎
Back in May, I began posting my series "AI,Ego & Regret"on dev.to, and guess what – it's now officially on Amazon! Both ebook and paperback are approved and about to go live. Thank you so much, dev.to fam! 🙌hahaha🥳
The first hackathon I've ever been orgaizing now on the starting blocks for the 9 th. of September, all about Open Data, AI, MCP, API and recruitement :
and the best.... I'm brining my master students into the adventure :
Side project 1:
Side project 2:
🎉 Shipped a bunch on side project 2 this week — fixed a nasty blank-page bug on Trending, added trending/suggested-users sidebars, smoothed out message alert animations, and got the footer social links live. Small stuff, but it's adding up! 🚀
I finally got around to redoing my portfolio site into something that's not completely terrible. Post coming soon 😁
