We've been micro-optimizing our eBPF code, and it reminds me of the SPU era a bit. The compiler/JIT is so basic that old tricks are useful again. Regular C turns into atrocious ASM, but writing C like it's ASM fixes it. I'm kinda loving it.
It's all stuff like this (before/after):

I sometimes wonder how non-developers are supposed to use the internet nowadays. Are they just perpetually in a state of brokenness with no idea how to escape it, accepting this as 'normal'?

Built a new PC with NVMe drives for the first time yesterday. Having grown up with the left side, I cannot adequately express how absolutely insane it is to me that the right side exists and is widely available today.

I remember the vibe shift in the early 00’s from ‘just write the code you need’ to ‘writing your own code is NIH syndrome’ to ‘NIH = bad’ and ‘DRY’. The dependency mess in modern dev is the conclusion of that movement. But we can shift it back.
Proudly NIH all the things, friends.

Today, in places I did not expect to find AI, while looking for a mobo for a new PC build. I guess Asus is an “AI-first” company now too?
