🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println, panic, format, write, log::info, etc. (Everything using format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

this has been absurdly insightful
there was this great talk at one of the zig conferences where a developer talked about how they preferred static types because of their adhd.

static types are also an accessibility tool

mfs will build anything but commuter rail networks and dense housing
Flying car with 20 mi range, 60 mph speed, 75 min recharge time, and Level 2 autonomy.

Battery improvements could give this enough range to cover your daily commute.

Fedora letting AI commit code?

Couldn’t be me, bro.

I don’t let neural nets touch my stack — I need discipline.

Switched to Omarchy. No copilot. No hand-holding.
