Hit a wall early in the week. Recovered, reset, and came back stronger. Got key normalization logic done and restructured pipeline internals.

This week tested my limits. Between illness at home and constant interruptions, I barely moved. But I showed up. The pipeline is forming. And the discipline is rock solid.

Spent the week learning AI integration in Langchain4j, tuning prompts, and building the ingestion pipeline. Real progress after tough weeks.

Personal stress, broken sleep, and a major refactor stalled execution, but I still showed up. Published my Builder Manifesto and got another pre-sale.

My personal creed to start each day with clarity, purpose, and the relentless drive to build a better world.

Recipe details screen and cooking mode are now live. This week I pivoted to building the recipe ingestion pipeline to unlock scalable growth.

Finalized recipe backend and image hosting, but got sidetracked by comics and social media. Time to go heads-down and get the core product ready.

A step-by-step guide and script to quickly install Aider and all necessary dependencies on Ubuntu-based systems (including WSL).

A curated and growing map of my best practices, AI prompts, templates, and how-tos for software delivery, architecture, and AI projects.

Launched Menuvivo pre-sale, closed 3 first orders (one from a stranger), and pushed the recipe system integration live. Fear faced, market validated, mission alive.
