Spent the week deep-diving into my dev-publish tool, focusing on durability and orchestrator resilience. 21 commits across two repos, with a massive cleanup of the publishing logic and some much-needed architecture documentation.
TL;DR
There is a specific kind of satisfaction that comes from taking a tool you use every day and finally giving it the "production-grade" treatment it deserves. This week was exactly that. I spent most of my time in the guts of dev-publish, moving past the "it works on my machine" phase and into "it works even if the world is on fire" territory. With 21 commits and over 11,000 lines of code churn, I focused on making the publishing orchestrator resilient and the state durable.
What I Built
The star of the show this week was dev-publish. If you’ve ever tried to automate cross-platform technical writing, you know that the edge cases are where the real pain lives. I pushed 16 commits here, touching about 45 files. The diff was pretty wild: +6,926 additions and -4,289 deletions. That net positive tells part of the story, but the deletions represent me ripping out brittle logic that just wasn't cutting it.
