I hit 1,000 contributions on GitHub

Published on Apr 2, 2026

Looking back at Q1 2026, the momentum has been completely unreal. I hit 1,000 contributions on GitHub in just the first three months of the year. When I compare that sheer volume of output to my activity over the last two years, the difference is staggering. I was not just chasing a green contribution graph. Every single commit, pull request, and review was tied to shipping actual products or improving tools I care about deeply.

Here is what kept my terminal so busy this quarter:

  1. Shipping Disnut
    A massive chunk of my time went into building and launching Disnut. I focused on getting both the core web platform and the standalone bot application out the door. The goal was to build a seamless experience across both interfaces, which meant tackling complex asynchronous state management and webhook integrations under the hood.
  2. Upgrading 3cat
    Starting new projects is fun, but maintaining existing ones is where you actually learn how to write scalable code. I finally sat down to give 3cat the serious upgrades it needed. I stripped out a lot of legacy technical debt and optimized the core logic so it runs significantly faster.
  3. Contributing to Hebo AI
    I also made it a priority to get more involved in open source tooling. I spent time testing, debugging, and filing detailed issues on the Hebo AI repository. Writing reproducible bug reports and feature requests takes serious time, but it is one of the most effective ways to help a complex project move forward.

This level of output did not happen by accident. It came from ruthless prioritization and just sitting down to write code every single day. The last two years were about learning and planning, but Q1 2026 was purely about execution. I am carrying exactly this same energy into the rest of the year.
