This bug hunt detective story has a valuable lesson - porting large projects to another language is tricky, because it comes with bugs.

Anthropic applying an interesting idea to machine learning: since fully understanding activations is beyond an average human brain, large language models are nudged into explaining the numbers in human words instead.

An accompanying set of benchmark results for Laguna large language models release.

Last part of an educational series on Go language internals.

Introduction to a data structure that's often discussed, but seldom actually picked: skiplists.

Honest dissection of approaches to storing data. tl;dr not using any database can get you surprisingly far, but then why not just slap an SQLite on it.

Git magic at its finest.

Creators of uv share their take on open-source security in the age of AI.

zml folks power-vibe-rewrote their tokenizer to Zig to drop the foreign language dependencies, and get a modest 10x speedup along the way.

Meta's recipe for helping AI agents navigate huge repositories.

An inspiration to try out PGO (profile-guided optimization) if you also happen to maintain a large CPU-heavy C/C++ project.

An interesting projection on what the world is going to look like when we start giving AI agents pocket money.

Turns out the difference between VHDL and Verilog is not "just syntax!"

Introduction to property testing, along with an open-source multilingual tool to put it in practice.

Welcome to March 2026: the month of questioning Open Source paradigm in the age of AI.

A philosophical take on GPL-ish licenses in the era of AI.

Words of warning against a novel problem that emerged from async Rust -- cancel safety.

Valuable tips for everybody struggling to squeeze a bloated database row into a structure in memory, while not keeping 150 NULL values around at all times.

February longest title award granted!

(shameless self-promo, I enjoyed writing this one more than usual though)

Antithesis demoes a real scenario of debugging a bug in an SQL cache, through fuzzing, time travel, and exploring multiverses.

False alarm, the language is still alive, and so is Rust Foundation.

Simplest idea wins.

A neat package of six patterns to follow when generating C language snippets.

An interesting approach to benchmarking large language models.

comma.ai's recipe for running your own datacenter the oldschool way.

Actually practical walkthrough on building an actually helpful agent (specifically two of them, so an "agent orchestrator," but not of the unhinged gas town quality).

A story on rewriting serialization routines to Rust, while keeping the protobuf interface intact.

A machine-enhanced investigation on throughput and latency issues in an SSH game.

A must-read.

Practical and interactive summary of what database transactions are.

The article describes a quite novel approach to disposable computers, which is a term lately coined by fly.io.

A nice counterweight to all the, well, anti-AI hype.

An investigation of memory leaks in the world's most hyped terminal emulator's scrolling implementation.

Extremely educational piece on audio editing, including a 20-line implementation of fast Fourier transform and lots of audio+video samples.

Everything you need to know about the state of databases in 2025.

Another hands-on tutorial on implementing a mutex, through spinlocks, process schedulers, and finally the grand idea of futex.

The title kind of says it all.

An ideal cynical essay on why cynical approach is an ideal counterweight to idealism.

Succinct title award for 2025 (in both senses).

A story of writing a Telegram clone, including tiniest details like properly sizing rows of emojis.

December is rife with low-level bug hunts, what a perfect Christmas gift for everyone!

It's a bug hunt post with FPGA mentioned at least 7 times.

An interesting take on using the blackbox trick for microbenchmarks, or actually not using it.
