When things went smooth (accepted paper) I tried to roll that motivation forward as much as possible.

2 years was during COVID so I never really had to travel for classes which really saved time.

I did most of the coding and ideation on either paternity leave or holidays. Evenings were often running smaller experiments or eventually endless iteration of a paper.

My wife was great and helped me focus usually 8-11pm most nights and some weekends 1-4pm.

We don't live nearby any family and friends were not much help.

I highly recommend it if you enjoy writing. It was painless and fun.

A nice break from writing blogs.

Also "containers" always had the option to attach durable storage via bind mounts.

I still get confused by the "this isn't containers" but it's kind of similar.

Maybe I am just too caught up in semantics.

A VPS that is instant to boot, super simple automatic routing and https proxy, with snapshot and durable is a win regardless.

Is this just a fancy VPS like digital ocean with, https endpoint, snapshot and restore?

(Same thing goes for exe.dev)

BOLT AFAIU is more about cache locality of putting hot code near each other and not really breaking the 2GiB barrier.

This is what my next post will explore. I ran into some issues with the GOT that I'll have to explore solutions for.

I'm writing this for myself mostly. The whole idea for code models when you have thunks feels unnecessary.

I really enjoying the toolset to query logs etc...

Good memories.
