I shipped my biggest release on Friday. By Saturday, two testers had already found bugs I'd missed after 1,000+ hours of building.
v1.7.6 went live — new .exe, 82 AI intents, DeepMonitor rewrite, Polish support. It felt good for about 12 hours. Then the real work started. Three testers spent 5+ hours each, and by Sunday night I'd fixed:
- 6 stability issues in Startup & Services Manager
- 3 duplicate handlers in the AI builder
- 17 intents that had patterns but no response — confidence 1.00 is silence
- a function scanning psutil 19 times per single message
CS2.exeshowing as the heaviest process for people who don't even play CS2 (I forgot to clean my test data before release — fixed in 12 hours)
Amazing testers — thank you again: Przemysław, Adam, Kacper.
This week isn't about new features
It's about cleaning up the silent failures that only appear when real people use the app:
- proper Maximized View Mode — the dashboard has too much data for a small window
- more hck_GPT stability audits
- a console-launcher fix for users where it doesn't close after startup
- better restore logic and history in Startup & Services Manager
Not every week is about shipping new things. Sometimes the important work is making sure what you already shipped actually works.
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.
