Interestingly, in recent times I have read and watched a few articles/videos about first principles thinking.

Well, I am still very much procrastinating on writing the next blog post in my Relax and Unwind series about writing a stack unwinder from scratch.

Last time, we were looking at how calls are actually implemented in native assembly code, and what kind of instructions the CPU is executing and what registers are involved.

I have been working on the the Sentry Native Team for a bit more than a year now.

It is only January, but the 2021 bullshit bingo is in full flow already.

Well, we live in exciting times!

In my Rust 2021 wishlist, I was expressing my excitement about having high-quality, precise code coverage in Rust.

This story starts with the sentry protocol and event payloads, and how to make them both typesafe, easy-to-use, and extensible at the same time, which they are currently not, and probably won’t be with current Rust.

My fiance is often challenging me to explain some programmers topic in simple terms for non-programmers like her to understand.

# TLDR So your UnhandledExceptionFilter is just not being called?

# TLDR ’Tis the planning season for Rust 2021 already, and as suggested, I will start with a very short list of bullet points: As a long-time observer of the Rust project, I would to see some long-time projects come to an end, to reap the promised benefits

I have been working on documenting a growing rust project, and ran into some papercuts along the way.

I’m very happy that I have been moving to a somewhat large Rust project recently ;-) And because of the COVID mandated home-office, I have started doing a lot more development on my Desktop, which runs Windows for gaming reasons.

So, my TypeScript patch that I wrote about previously was recently merged.

Early this year, I managed to mostly move away from JS development into native code, which in my case means a lot of C/C++, as well as Rust, hopefully more of that in the future.

So, I have recently given a talk at the local [viennajs] meetup, which was a huge success apparently.

# Update (2020-02-28) The recording of my talk is online: Also, my PR was merged a few week ago!

TLDR: scroll down for pictures and a video :-) It was actually quite some time ago when I stumbled upon the concepts of immersion cooling, by which you immerse your whole hardware in a di-electric cooling fluid, and by phase-change cooling, which means th…

I believe a lot in the saying “learning by doing”, and often the best thing I can do to better understand a specific problem, topic, library or paradigm, is to actually implement it myself.

It is that time of year again.

Note: I actually wrote most of this post 2 months ago when I did a deep dive into comparing cypress and puppeteer.

Just recently, I have had to tackle some quite challenging problems related to pagination.

I have been thinking for a long time about how intl-codegen 2 would look like, and some time ago I went about implementing it.

I had the pleasure recently of looking at a few js/typescript solutions to database access, mostly focused on SQL.

Prompted by a recent meetup with former work colleagues, I had another short look at relay as an alternative to apollo which we currently use and with which we are not quite that happy.

Error handling is a really important aspect of software engineering, and also a very complex one with a lot of sides that need to be considered.

Previously I have written extensively about the problems I face and some ideas how I would like to organize a larga codebase.

In my last post, I talked about small public projects.

Continuing my series, I will take a look at what tools and workflows I use to manage my small projects.

Well… It has actually been more than one year since my last blog.

# TLDR: End of this month, I will quit web programming and programming in general for some time, taking a much deserved time off and decide on my future direction.

The last week I have been playing extensively with both flow and TypeScript.

Aus gegebenem Anlass möchte ich gerne meine Meinung zu verschieden Themen erläutern die mir am Herzen liegen.

The reason I write about this now is githubs icons started to look like shit on my screen/system since a week or so.

The story starts like this: I am about to start developing a native-looking mobile App.

I have decided to start over.
