I don't see anything fancy here that Google doesn't do with their Gemini products, and even better

quite interesting. So SQL patterns can be optimised differently in SQLite

Would we have a better or evolved markdown?

marketing is how ideas spread. And ideas that spread are those that win.

That's why AI-sloppy software would go viral and make loads of money while properly engineered ones die off.

When people need knowledge, they know where to find it. They don't need marketing for that.

Engineering You by @mjpt777 is one of my favourite things to learn/watch in the past week.

It talks about what makes a software engineer and how to get better at it. You'd have thought Mathematics and Algos/Data-Structure aren't important.

this performance aspects is interesting. So time to try C# again. I;m learning Zig for some of those reasons, but also because the language has a small scope and the language features will be smaller

I wrote my first queue this week, and started learning DSA this week as well. I use to ignore those topics, but I think the path I seek would benefit from that knowledge.

Thanks. web dev or game dev are still developers. I don't subscribe to the "real developer" mindset, except if they're vibe coders :)

After years in web development, I’m hitting the reset button. For the next 12 months, I'm going all-in on learning Zig and systems programming—in public. I'm anxious, excited, and ready to tackle something hard.

Zig is only a means to an end. I recently shared Phil Eaton's post, and it helped me reach this decision after a long time having this nagging feeling.

I enjoyed reading this. It could be because I'm thinking of doing more of system/network programming (and learning Zig). I've spent the last 6 years in the JavaScript land and bored of yet-another-bundling or SPA-like pattern.

So there's hope that with consistency and patience, one could build expertise in a totally different area
