I've been putting a lot of my energy into side projects for the last five years, and while I've considered them all successful (i.e. they have filled a concrete need I had, and having addressed that need the workflow of my life ha

I'm not a USC, but I will be eligible to apply for citizenship next year. I have made the decision to avoid international travel so that I don't run into any potential issues at the border until I've gone through the citizens

The main ones that I'm still waiting to see integrated into mainstream Linux twms are workspace scrolling (of course), dynamic layout rules and dynamic offset rules (important for ultrawide monitor users). I'd also like to see con

Unfortunately tiling window managers for Linux have become quite stagnant in terms of improving and iterating on workflows, which is probably why we're seeing more of the kind of sentiment expressed in this post lately (of course, the

I'll bite: after writing and using komorebi[1], it's very painful for me to go back to using software like yabai or aerospace - macOS programmatic UI interactions are just too slow, while on Windows they feel comparatively instant

The real kicker is that it wasn't even management saying this, it was "senior" developers on the team. I wonder if these roles tend to attract people who get the most job enjoyment and satisfaction out of the (manual) investi

Last month I switched from a role working on a distributed system (FAANG) to a role working on embedded software which runs on cards in data center racks. I was in my last role for a year, and 90%+ of my time was spent investigating things

Honestly, I am someone who knows nothing about the .NET / Windows ecosystem outside of the Win32 calls required to build out a tiling window manager and a hotkey daemon. These are mostly calls that go all the way back to Windows 95 (an

Out of the major operating systems, Windows is probably by far my favorite to develop for[1] using Rust. windows-rs[2] is officially supported and is constantly being worked on and improved. [1]: https://github.com/LGUG2Z&#x

In this specific case, Reddit makes an API[1] available for developers. And again, there is no crawling involved. Crawling is a very specific, well defined behavior. I'll assume with good intent that you aren't familiar with the d

This is probably the joint most important piece of software on my system next to my window manager. The elevator pitch I give for this software is "QMK for any keyboard" - you can use layers, tap dance etc. with regular keyboards
