Writing about Go and Plan 9. Occasional game programming.
Things I like and somewhat advocate for: - Linux, Emacs, Nyxt browser - Rust, Scheme, Common Lisp - HTMX, Coalton - FP, Metaprogramming, PLT - Split keyboards - Tinkering and having fun with computers - Not using AI to think/post for you you?

Go is simple, so I ended up writing an 865-page book about how it works internally, just to see how it maintains that simplicity 😇
graphics programming is a mess. I just want to put pixels on the screen. that's it. on at least mac windows and linux but nooooooo you have to invoke ancient texts and circumvent the globe and fly to mars with a jetpack
Marc Andreessen: Software isn't precious anymore. In this new world, high quality software is infinitely available. "We've always lived in a world in which software is this precious thing that you have to think about very carefully." "It was really hard to generate good software, and there was only a small number of people who could do it." "Those days are just over." "If you need new software to do X, Y, or Z, you're just going to wave your hand and get it." "Things that used to be hard, or even seem like an insurmountable mountain to get through, all of a sudden, I think, become very easy." @pmarca with @latentspacepod
