For those interested in a written form of my talk at BSC to skim or search through, I have prepared a lengthy article with lots of content; diagrams, videos, tables, and Desmos graphs that mirrors the information of my talk, it's available on my website: wassimulator.com/blog/programmi…
The reason we need better software isn’t just to "shave milliseconds". When a simple build takes minutes, the cost of iteration rewires your brain. You stop exploring ideas and start avoiding them. And that’s fatal, because iteration is the essence of invention. Slow tools…
Existing search tools on Windows suck. Even with an SSD, it’s painfully slow. So I built a prototype of Nowgrep. It bypasses most of the slow Windows nonsense, and just parses the raw NTFS. On an SSD, this ends up faster than ripgrep, even on a cached run (Nowgrep bypasses…

Parser generators tend to produce very bad error messages, and by the time you put in enough of your own code to generate actual good error messages, you might as well have just written the parser yourself, it's simpler and faster. The "ambiguity" issue, that people claim…
