Im always at a loss for little projects to work on when learning a new language, but I’ve got it now: complicated solutions to simple problems.

The rust CLI for a number guessing game out of the rust book? Turning into a concurrent service that spawns threads to divide the range and find the target

There’s a lot of talk about LLMs affecting the software industry in terms of code generation, but I think the one that’s bumming me out the most is its overuse in normal, textual conversation.

Seeing more and more leadership individuals vomit a verbose wall of text that clearly was generated by AI.

I really need to learn how to focus on one thing, been in the elixir/haskell/ocaml/rust/go/roc loop for like a year…. #programming #functionalprogramming #rust #haskell #adhd #elixir #ocaml

I really need other languages to get on Go’s level in terms of fan art… #golang #software #programming

Pattern matching is basically a non-negotiable in dynamically typed languages for me now… #elixir #ruby #haskell #programming #software

Oh Rust, you’ve got me again… #rust #software

There is an infinite amount of ways through which one can find joy in programming, and they should all be thoroughly explored.

I think the only thing that keeps me from full sending on Rust is that I’m not smart enough to get Rust jobs #rust #programming #software

The fact that the study of computing as a science was around before computers first came around really fucks my brain up… #computerscience #turing #maths #mindfuck

I’m finding that the conversation around AI in software that’s the loudest is “bUt ItS nOt GoOd At WrItInG cOdE” and not the far more interesting “but what can I build with it?” Be an engineer, be curious.
