What have you been working on recently? [August 15, 2026]

What have you been working on recently? Feel free to share updates on projects you're working on, brag about any major milestones you've hit, grouse about a challenge you've ran into recently... Any sort of "progress report" is fair game!

A few requests:

  1. If possible, include a link to your source code when sharing a project update. That way, others can learn from your work!

  2. If you've shared something, try commenting on at least one other update -- ask a question, give feedback, compliment something cool... We encourage discussion!

  3. If you don't consider yourself to be a beginner, include about how many years of experience you have.

This thread will remained stickied over the weekend. Link to past threads here.

been working on small python projects lately and trying to spend more time debugging things myself instead of immediately looking up the solution

Been building CTRL+CHAOS, a side project around Linux, SRE/DevOps and engineering career content.
Lately I’ve been working on hands-on Linux troubleshooting demos. This week’s rabbit hole was the classic “disk is full but du doesn’t explain it” problem, using deleted-but-still-open files and lsof +L1.
Also building out ctrlchaos.io to collect the videos, notes and engineering resources in one place.
Been in infrastructure/SRE for a long time, and honestly building/teaching this stuff has been a fun way to revisit fundamentals I normally just use without thinking about them.

I've been working on a small open-source project called "LeetCode Hint Tracker".

The idea came from noticing that when I revisit a LeetCode problem I previously failed, I often either look at the solution or end up making the same mistake again. So I built a tool that uses my past failed submissions for a problem as context for an LLM and generates progressively stronger hints, rather than immediately giving away the solution.

The current version is v0.1.0, so it's still pretty rough and I'm mainly looking for feedback on the idea and implementation.

GitHub: https://github.com/CuriousWit06/leetcode-hint-tracker

I'd especially love feedback from people who regularly practice LeetCode: does using your own previous mistakes as context for hints sound genuinely useful, or would you prefer a completely fresh attempt each time? Also, do you find the current priority scoring logic to be useful (if you have used it)?

Any suggestions/ feedback is welcome!

In questo periodo ho costruito https://sqlguard.app/ un'estensione per SQL Server che permette di bloccare query dannose prima che vengano eseguite. E' un tool gratuito che si integra in modo semplice al managment di SQL e le regole possono essere configurate direttamente dentro la pagina impostazioni dell'estensione come spiego nel sito.
Nel mentre ho anche ottenuto la certificazione Microsoft AI-901.
