Twenty-six years ago today, #Google was incorporated in Menlo Park, CA. Only a few months later, Excite CEO George Bell turned down an offer to buy the company for $750k. Alphabet, Inc. (Google's parent company) is now valued at over $2T.

#UI: we designed our windows to look just like our doors for a sleek, modern, consistent design

#UX: https://buff.ly/3YPzXAw

If it's not obvious how you should interact with some interface, it's not your fault -- it's bad #design.

"The human desire to be creative and express one's individuality does not end where a keyboard begins... code can be used as a medium to create art, but it can also be art itself."

I think every #API should have a /help endpoint, similar to -h / --help flags in command-line programs. When #documentation is not readily available, /help endpoints have the potential to greatly improve the #discoverability of an API. See also: https://buff.ly/46EbuQR

When building #distributedsystems, assume

1. The #network is unreliable
2. Latency != 0
3. Bandwidth != ∞
4. The network is insecure
5. Network topologies change
6. Multiple administrators exist
7. Transport cost != 0
8. The network is heterogeneous

Over the weekend I spent some time digging into #Bevy and learned about const generics in #Rust. They are a really cool feature that can make items generic over _specific values_ rather than over types! #gamedev #bevyengine

Recently, I've been learning #Bevy by dissecting an example App every day. I just finished a deep dive into cameras: how to select them, and how to translate, rotate, and zoom. I've still got lots of official Bevy examples to explore. Follow along at github.com/awwsmm/daily...

Make invalid states unrepresentable. Use types and let the compiler do the hard work of data validation for you. #programming #scala www.awwsmm.com/blog/make-in...

Interested in gamedev in Rust ? Me too! So I put together this bare-minimum tutorial for using SDL2 and compiling a pure Rust app to WASM ! Making browser games in Rust with WebAssembly just got a bit easier github.com/awwsmm/hello...

Over the holiday break, I created an #IoT MVP in #Rust and wrote up my thoughts about the experience. I’d love to hear your thoughts! www.awwsmm.com//blog/what-t...
