11 months ago I had 12 dead projects and a warehouse job. This week I'm #151 on GitHub's Top Committers in Poland — and just dropped the biggest update of my life.
Monday's post hit 33,000 views, a new personal record (the old one was 28k, three weeks earlier). This series keeps outrunning itself. And today PC Workman v1.7.6 is live: new .exe — download, extract, run, no Python.
Shipped
- v1.7.6 released — Sigstore signed, VirusTotal 0/70, CodeQL clean. The real deal.
- 82 AI intents (started at 25 three months ago). "Can I run Cyberpunk?" checks your hardware against a 20-game database; "How long will my battery last?" calculates drain by activity type. Every intent from a real person who asked a real question.
- DeepMonitor rewritten — 4 aligned columns like HWMonitor, colours that shift with heat. You see the problem before you read the number.
- Map of Components — a 2.5D isometric view of your actual PC: live colours, pulsing hot parts, a CPU glow ring at 75°C. Wasn't planned. Just happened.
- 373 process definitions (was 241 — +132 this week alone)
- proactive monitor now reads real temperatures — CPU >80°C, GPU >82°C, severe throttle, multi-drive disk space — and sends "all clear" when things normalise
- hck_GPT conversations actually flow now: greetings, "tell me more," "what should I do," all handled
- full PC Workman website redesign for v1.7.6, and SourceForge synced after weeks of serving an ancient version
Scarred:
psutil.sensors_temperatures() returns empty on Windows. That was the proactive monitor's temperature function — the one I built "months ago." It was reading None every single check, doing nothing, for months. Found it this week and switched to LibreHardwareMonitor. The scariest bugs don't crash your app — they pass every test because they never ran in the first place.
Ten weeks. Never missed a post. Monday plan. Wednesday code. Friday truth.
This is the project behind the post. PC Workman is a free, open-source Windows system monitor
with an offline AI assistant - everything described here is real, shipped code.
