A great question, which I'll allow myself to not respond _here_. Please check within a week, as I try to migrate my blog to something simpler. I'll put description there and link here once done.

I have a joke in context that I often like to tell: Devil captured Physicist, Engineer and Mathematician. He gave each of them big can of spam and locked them in the empty room saying „you will be here for 2 weeks - open the can and surviv

Lately I’ve been exploring zig and outside of painfully underdeveloped documentation I haven’t had so much fun with types (of comptime) for the long time. I find it much more ergonomic than Rust and less energy draining than OCaml. Then the

I disagree, because in high specialty domains you even cannot reuse knowledge as it might be proprietary. On the other hand patterns are universal. You sit in a meeting where someone raises problem of „database slow, we have 50M of log entr

I really want to like Lua but I just can’t. Tried Lua/Fennel/even Teal but I just can’t. I can’t tell what it is exactly. Maybe those weird global rules? Maybe inspection of objects and metatables? Maybe the weird mix of verbose a

It really depends at what you look. You say snappy, but what is snappy? I right now have a toy project in progress in zig that uses users perception as a core concept. Rarely one can react to 10ms jank. But when you get to bare metal develo

Uhh, yeah, you can do this, yes, this works, but I wouldn't do any of this. Life is not about scores. It's about living it like you want it. If you want to get the scores, that's fine, but not everyone are like that. If I lea

Which IMO highlights what the money is. It’s a trust bond, nothing more and nothing else. Paper money isn’t guaranteed to be always accepted. It only takes most governments a one day to say something like “because of <big crisis> we’r

Because everyone is exactly the same, right? So you should just live your life but if you have aphantasia then sucks to be you. You won’t reminisce memories because some random dude on internet says so. Leaky abstractions everywhere.

That's true, but "Real Metrics" matter. Bugs are on the spectrum - some might increase resource usage, or some might crash for a percent of users. Some might always manifest for specific cohort of users and it might not be pr

I’ve recently moved to the Neovim but even though I learned Lua enough to use it I never found it ergonomic. Recently had some time to spare and moved to Fennel. It has some sharp edges but in the end I find it much easier to maintain. In

I thought that this article will address an elephant in the room but either it missed it or I missed it. My problem with pollution is that… you need to measure it, and those who pollute don’t do it consciously. Anecdotally I often drive thr

Yes, that’s let assert on pattern matches. We’ve briefly evaluated Gleam (but I only very shortly) and result was that we cannot port existing code any way and integration would be very difficult (especially given missing macros). I do, how
