I didn't like standards for far too long. I was wrong. Maybe I can convince you, too. Link in the comments.

I am looking to chat with Software Engineers that work in physical systems (robots, drones, aircraft, etc) and can tell me more about the data problems you face. Bonus point if you use or consider using SQLite.
We'd love to understand how our rewrite of SQLite can help you!

Maybe languages with strict compilers, like Rust, are the perfect companion to AI coding assistants.

Open source or not, more people in tech should be working on a side project. It can help remind you of what you love about the field.
It’s surprising to me how many people don’t do this.

I love playing with new tech. I’ve used a fair number of the current AI code assistants. I first played with Tabnine years ago, long before GitHub Copilot was a thing. I think all of them currently leave much to be desired, but Cursor is my current tool of choice.

I've spent a stupid amount of time thinking about what programming language is best. At a previous company, where it made a lot of sense, I was convinced it was Rust. Later I favored the readability of Go. More recently, I've begun to settle on it not mattering. I just hope you enjoy your tool.
