Why I'm moving from C# to Rust for High-level Apps - hamy.xyz/blog/2026-02_m… - Expressive types - Great tooling - Strong performance characteristics With similar devx, ecosystems, and community.

How I Built a Clicker Game with Raylib + C# - hamy.xyz/blog/2026-01_c…

As I've started to build more games, I've found it interesting how every game loop essentially runs the same steps in the same order: * Input * Update * Draw It makes sense just never really thought about it. If you squint, it looks p close to an ImPurIm sandwich.

I use Ansible to rollout my infrastructure in phases: * Foundations - Hardens OS, connects to Tailscale, installs Docker * Core services - Sets up the special analytics and db roles * App servers - Configs the servers w env vars pointing to other roles hamy.xyz/blog/2025-12_h…

Here we go again - another Claude Code outage.

I Built an AI Orchestrator and Ran It Overnight - Here's What Happened - hamy.xyz/blog/2026-02_a…

My AI orchestrator isn't very fast nor particularly cheap but it works surprisingly well. It completed 15 tasks in 10 hours fully autonomously for the price of $90 in tokens. More expensive than I'd want to pay every day but far less expensive than a typical software engineer

The downfall of Claude / Anthropic may not be OpenAI, the US Govt, or increasing costs. It might just be unreliable systems pushing ppl to try alts. Claude is down again (multiple this week) so now I'm trying opencode. status.claude.com

5 AI Coding Best Practices from a Google AI Director (That Actually Work) - hamy.xyz/blog/2026-01_a…

How I use AI without losing control: • Spec goals, outcomes, + success criteria first • One atomic task at a time • Review before committing • Commits = save points for rollback You stay in the loop as code grows.

High-Level Rust: Getting 80% of the Benefits with 20% of the Pain - hamy.xyz/blog/2026-01_h…

What if you could get all of the benefits of Rust (performance, expressive types, solid ecosystem) with none of the pain (devx + onboarding)? With a few rules, you can write it like F#/C#/TS. - Immutable data, functionalish pipes - Arc + clone liberally - DDD services

My current desk setup: * Dual monitors, centered around usage * Standing desk that's mostly seated but standing for meetings * Adjustable height and arms office chair How to setup an ergonomic desk - hamy.xyz/blog/2025-09_e…

Will AI replace software engineers? hamy.xyz/blog/2025-12_s…

If you want to keep a job in the age of AI, you need to add value that the AI cannot. For software engineers, this means: * Don't just write code * Own the product / impact This has always been a good principle for product careers but it's now necessary to stay in the career.

CloudSeed Rust - A Fullstack Rust Boilerplate for Building Webapps in Minutes - hamy.xyz/blog/2026-02_l…

API scaffolding, auth, background jobs, CSS pipelines, and observability are all interesting to build out. But by the 5th or 6th time, it's just overhead. That's why I build boilerplates for myself - build once, harden over time, skip the dev time on the next project.

How AI Killed Tailwind's Business - And How To Avoid a Similar Fate - hamy.xyz/blog/2026-01_a…

Business types at risk of AI competition: * Templates and boilerplates * Info products (courses, tutorials, blogs) * Simple SaaS tool * Automating manual computer work If it can be prompted in a couple hours / days, you don't have a business anymore.

@dayvsterdev Q: What do you see as the major differences in ecosystems? When I say similar ecosystem I mean similar capabilities therein - available libraries, targets, integrations, etc. But maybe there are differences I'm missing here.

@SIRHAMY the ecosystem of rust is in no way similar to .NET that is just the most insane take I've seen this year.
