   In my experience, most performance gains I've implemented have been moving to better data structures and not iterating the same thing a bunch of times.

   What's crazy to me about how we've set up computers to do things, is that xz itself is a pure function, but somehow there's all of this shit that has to happen to just use a pure function! It's just bytes in and bytes ou

   People are going to be upset with this perspective but I completely agree. The whole autoconf set of tools is a complete disaster.

    I find this has worked well for me when I can easily state what thread pool work gets executed on.

    Yeah “Just Showing Up” and not having inflated expectations for results is a great way to stay working on something long term for me. That’s difficult because the lure of perfectionism is usually what entices me to start in the first place.

    I’m so incredibly far from this level of self actualization that it scares me. I think it’s mostly the ADHD traits that make habit formation difficult: I’m usually stuck fighting for the bottom of my Maslows pyramid

    Code _is_ the description of the behavior. Turns out describing behavior is really hard. If you cover all the cases, it’s not that far from code. Furthermore, the data structures are a huge decision space which depends on context that is ha

    I absolutely hate working with NFS - the impedance mismatch of what it does with the API it provides is terrible

    I hold these two essays similarly high in influence for myself. The pipeline/railway oriented programming really made it click about how to use first-class types to deal with error cases elegantly. Unfortunately, a lot of languages mak

    I’m not really sure what your point is. Is it not remarkable that valuable things can be done in 150 lines?

    Supporting the interface of graphql from the backend though is usually not very easy - you usually end up with a half baked database implementation that wraps a better database

    This is something I struggle with a lot in API design. If the frontend is to never join, then the backend has to provide either: 1. a very dynamic API (e.g. GraphQL) and support arbitrary queries 2. a static but 'bloated' API wher

    True, ternary gates probably don't exist, but two gates gets you there and hardware is very fast.
