The Leafslug

I am, in all possible senses of the word, horrible at guitar.

We constantly forget that teenagers are not just demons from hell, but they are living in it.

Back when I was 12-15 I used to have blogs.

There is a left and a right in politics.

Last time I wrote here was a while ago.

If you are subscribed to my feed, you might have been bombarded by old items being marked as new in your feed reader.

He is there, right before me and my destination.

The world is going to end in just 12 years by mega volcanos.

I just added a search functionality to my blog.

Git is awesome.

So, I re-re-wrote my blog using Rust.

So, yeah.

Are we there yet?

I’m happy to inform you, dear reader, that after around three years of constant struggle and effort, I have finally received my German Visa.

Some years ago I started meditating.

So one of the challenges I faced moving to the FreeBSD was that for the services I wanted have, I had to come up with a kill script for shutting down or restarting them.

Imagine you have a books table.

For the longest time, I believed that “Today I Learned” was an idea coming out of HashRocket.

So, I deleted my blog.

I have lost interest in the Kagi search engine.

May I remind you that the XZ incident 1 was discovered because it was open-source (FOSS) by an open-source contributor employed at Microsoft, while the CrowdStrike 2, a Microsoft Windows’ bug, was discovered when millions of people woke up to a fucking BS…

I’m just joking!

I hate this stupid doing the right thing ideological bullshit that superhero movies are pushing.

Ever since this morning, I have been bothered by the thought: gRPC added nothing but endless overhead to our product.

YAML and TOML suck.

When I was growing up, I viewed adults aversion to the new thing as a result of laziness.

I think there is conflict with people that confuse simplicity of a programming language with simplicity of writing, reading and maintaining a program written in a language.

First off, to all those who have subscribed to my feed: I am genuinely sorry for the massive amount of spam in the feed!

I have been a Utilitarianist my entire life.

A few days ago, I read a discussion on a YouTube video.

Traditionally speaking, Go and Rust are not direct competitors on many fronts.

Approximately a year ago, large companies in Iran began sharing their users’ information with the government.

As a young pup in my early twenties, I once held a naively hopeful perspective on those massive entities we call corporations.

Ever since a while back, I started giving a damn about my Git commits and workflow.

Git is an amazing tool, and a massive one at that.

For a long time, I have been wondering about my guilty pleasures, trying to figure out which pleasure, in particular, I feel guilty about.

On a daily basis, I express an outrageous opinion about technology.

Honestly, the primary challenge I encountered with complex codebases originated from adhering to SOLID principles.

I’m entertaining with the idea of making a personal web-server that uses git instead of a database.

For Rust developers, the passion stems from a combination of 10% performance, safety, and tooling.

There are people who proudly declare: I used to like X, but then it became popular, so I don’t like it anymore.

Honestly, I cannot say that diversity quotas are radical feminism; or in any terms extreme.

The problems surrounding Python programs on NixOS seem never-ending.

The true test of 10x developer is that you put two of them together, each debugging each-others code, then you if they kept their 10x status, they are the true 10x developer.

Please think twice before saying, “usage restriction is good because you might want to prevent someone from using your tool for war, crime, etc.”

I find the situation around GitHub centralization distressing.

It is very illuminating to see that using older style technologies, may lead to better experience.

There is a retired burned out offended wild life photographer out there responsible for the O’Reilly’s book covers, after they were told “You’re a photographer, that’s the same thing as graphic designer, give us 500 book covers, here is $1.”

I think when you are proposing a fast prototyping phase in programming, you should be able to answer these questions: What don’t we know that we hope to find out with this prototype?

I think the best way to characterize Rust’s productivity, is to put it on a quality axis.
