That's good. I generally think these kinds of tools (lsp, analyzers, etc.) should be based upon CLI tools. I'll be more open to when either projects seeking to integrate rust utilize tools such as buck or these tools can be more e

As someone who generally prefers not to use python in a production context (I think it's excellent for one-off scripts or cron jobs that require more features then what bash provides), I agree with this sentiment. I recently wrote some

In October of last year, people were betting on Trumps election leading to tariffs leading to a stronger dollar. This trend continued post-election pre-inaguration. Since the tariffs did not materialize to the level expected, the dollar wea

I really like this post. The only caveat I would add is it is possible to change your data model, but it requires constant and sustained high-effort work. It can pay off in spades, and it's always preferable to get it right.
