I’ve written before about how my team at work has adopted a variant of the Mikado Method for software project planning.

A few months ago, I decided to add a stride scheduler to the xv6 operating system, to get a better understanding of OS schedulers.

A long time ago (in IT years), I started my professional career as a network engineer.

I’ve recently been learning the Zig programming language.

I have recently been exploring some systems programming languages, with a recent focus on Zig.

Practicing the craft of systems software.

The xv6 kernel uses a basic round robin scheduler.

After a bit of an unexpected break, I have been able to get back to my operating systems study.

I’ve recently started an effort to learn more about operating systems, particularly Unix-like systems.

As a software engineer, have you ever faced a complex project where every task seems to depend on another?

In the previous post, I described why I’m writing a small Unix shell, which I’m calling wishr, along with a bit of an overview of how I plan to approach the project.

This is the first post in a series where I plan to document my experience writing a small Unix shell in Rust called wishr.
