I’ve been using Devenv to manage my development environments for a few years now.

Recently I’ve been realizing the price I pay for productivity gains by AI, is not really based on tokens, but deteriorating my knowledge.

Preface This was the most fun I’ve had programming in a long time.

Modern software is still slow.

Continuing my journey to re-build wc in Zig, not only so far has led me to learn some interesting features of the language, but also pushed me to re-think about the design of such a simple program as wc.

A Hugo theme built on Tufte CSS that ships with sidenotes, a journal/articles split, decentralized discussions, automatic OG image generation, and enough customization hooks that you can retheme it without forking.

I’ve started working on a new live stream mini series, to rewrite wc in Zig programming languages.

This is the final post of these series of blog post logging my notes on the journey of building a DNS Server is Zig, based on Codecrafters challenge.

After the progress from the last session, it was time to add the decompression logic to my Question.parser method.

In this blog post, I’m going to share my notes from the last 3 sessions of my livestream journey of building a DNS server in Zig, following Codecrafters’ challenge.

After finishing ziglings in the previous stream, I considered it to be the right time to go deeper, and took on the challenge from CodeCrafters to write a DNS server in Zig.

For years I worked across the high-level stack, backend, frontend, DevOps, data engineering, and yet, never touched the low-level foundations beneath it all.

The Problem As long as I remember, I couldn’t trust code generation tool.

Main Idea For a long time, I’ve been struggling with hoarding too many articles, but reading far less than I intend, and soon forgetting most of the ideas they were trying to communicate.

Situation A few months ago, I published Blogging using Emacs Org Roam and Hugo, but since then, apart from the setup itself, I didn’t spend much time blogging.

I just wanted to give zig a try using Ziglings, and realized the latest available of this programming language on Nix package repository is old according to ziglings’ standards and I’m not able to run the project (at the time of this writing NixOS has ver…

Situation There are not many software preferences in my list that I can not easily replace with alternatives due to how intuitive they feel.

My Journey with Org Roam Journals It’s a while now that I’m trying to use Org Roam’s journal to track my plans.

An Industry with Deep Cracks There are many aspects of the software development industry that need improvement.

Well, this one is simple.

Problem With the progress on Wayland architecture and the usability of its software ecosystem, I’m adapting it more and more.

Problem I recently needed to download a Teams meeting’s recording from Sharepoint within my organization, and it wasn’t possible due to my access level.
