In this world full of AI and slop I tried to code everything up with my hand. Building this felt soo weird.. I think every dev should build a project from scratch every now and then..

I work on a browser rendering engine. I write Rust. No, it's not frontend, backend or systems engineering.
I have struggled to explain what I do. So here's my attempt.
You know when you write "display: flex" in your CSS and it just works? Someone had to make it work.
Here's how a language feature goes from idea to your screen:
Someone proposes a new feature in HTML/CSS/JS language. for example a new CSS property or a new way to handle text.
A standards body (W3C for CSS, WHATWG for HTML, TC39 for JavaScript) discusses it, debates it, refines it. If it gets accepted, they publish a specification.
A document that describes exactly how the feature should behave.
Now browser engines (Chrome uses Blink, Firefox uses Gecko, Safari uses WebKit, and there's Servo which is written in Rust) need to actually implement it.
Someone reads the spec, writes the code in the engine that says "when you encounter this property, here's how to calculate it, here's how to lay it out, here's how to paint it."
Then it gets tested against thousands of web platform tests. Then it ships in a browser release.
Then you install a browser update. Then you write that CSS property in your project. Then your users see it render correctly on their screen.
That middle step, turning the specification into working code inside the engine, that's what I do.
These days I am working on making sure one is able to debug things in Servo DevTools!

@mememandir if you are on mac, have you downloaded claude code through the bash script or through a package manager(most likely homebrew if on mac, not sure about win)?

I'm 33.
I deeply regret spending so much of my younger times programming and playing games.
If you're 21, go play some sports.
It only gets harder as you age.

I'm 17. I deeply regret spending so much of my younger years playing games and watching anime. The freshest, most youthful days of my life wasted away. If you're 11, please Lock In. It only gets harder as you age.

@Dhanush_Nehru Great.. what all software have you built so far ?
Would love to see what interesting projects do top 1% javascript engineers make...

@IAmManware @mahanot_dikshit This^ true.
Saw someone actually being rational and NORMAL sounding after a long time..
Ppl seem to love showing off how much they spend.

@mahanot_dikshit I thrive living in an expensive locality in hyderabad in 25k/month expense. This includes gym, high protein diet and 6 supplements. Crazy how much you can save by not being impulsive.

80k as a fresher is really good. Our generation is cooked by fomo influencers 💀
