Hey, so for the last month I've been playing around a lot with Rust and writing various backends with it, trying out various architectures and crates and see which combination I enjoy the most.

Alright, so for the past couple of weeks I've been hard at work migrating a Node backend to Rust.

In the last week I've given both GuixSD and NixOS a try, installing GuixSD on my desktop computer and NixOS on my laptop.

I'm writing this from my desktop running GuixSD.

While researching users of io_uring, I've gone down a tangent trying to figure out why most new Linux technologies aren't seeing much adoption Introduction I've been using Linux and BSD Operating Systems for about 20 years now, starting with Fedora Core 5,

So, yesterday I tried to set up SDXL to experiment with various UIs and models since I've been out of the loop there for a bit and got super frustrated at how hard it is to just run some Python code off of GitHub.

It seems that [tRPC](https://trpc.io/) has been getting quite popular these days, and while writing code for it is quite nice, it doesn’t seem to fix that many problems and just overcomplicates the project.

So, these past couple of weeks we've been working on Bitmenu again—this time focusing on the table-ordering feature via QR code.

Just a simple tool I've built for myself that hopefully helps keep a codebase clean during vibecoding Why I Built This So, after ranting a bit about how terrible vibe coding is for anything somewhat complex I've researched a bit and it seems that managing…

The Promise and Pain of AI Coding While I am quite dissatisfied with the experience of coding agents like Claude Code for projects that reach a certain size, they are amazing for quickly spinning up a prototype or building small sites and scripts.

The promise vs. reality In the last couple of weeks I've been using Claude Code extensively, both at work and for my own side projects.

While working on bitmenu and adding i18n I though I'd write an entry about how I like to handle translations in TypeScript projects.

If you blinked last week, you probably missed Cursor lighting its reputation on fire.

So, after my first attempt at making this huge Electron app and kind of overcomplicating things, I've started from a clean slate and got some actual results.

Since I've been dogfooding MandoMaster, certain things started bothering me, so I've picked up work on it again to improve the overall experience for me.

It's been a while!

I've started on another project called MaoMi: the idea is to make a sort of v0/bolt.new for GameDev.

So, I've moved my entire blog over to a custom SSG.

So I've been continuing working a little on MandoMaster, a free Chinese learning app.

Hey there!
