I truly believe that this is one of the hardest problems in software: How do you bubble up errors in a system so that the user can see them, make sense of them, and knows what to do? It's so hard and I've bumped into it in nearly every project I worked.

a trick i was taught early on: you should look for bugs where there is no observability. the more painful it is to measure and understand; the more likely there are low hanging fruit to solve and fix

I believe this is due to Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code where software development expenses must be capitalized and amortized over a period of time. These changes took effect in 2022 and maybe took time for companies to adjust.

launch weeks are the perfect example of how startups copy bugs from larger companies thinking they're features particularly with devtools, particularly early stage, the marketing challenge is staying on top of people's minds for when they eventually have an opportunity to use…

I spent over a decade working in the games industry, but never released a game of my own. That changes this year. Steam page launching next week! #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

the biggest idea that has stuck for me recently is that any program is just a transform of input data into output data. Any program can be designed as a series of data streams with associated functional transforms. The cpu does not care about what the program is modelling.

I did 4 cups of ayahuasca once and tunneled through my consciousness in a state of euphoria having one epiphany after another. At some point, the sense of epiphany continued without any meaningful referent, as if I was leaning on the epiphany key in my brain. That then triggered…

Here is an example of an S-tier bug report. This is a complicated problem and without a reproduction this issue probably would've stagnated for months. But since this bug report was so good, the bug was fixed within a few hours of this being reported. I really can't stress how…

🌶️ Generally speaking, if a bug report is anything less than a few paragraphs long, it's almost always a bad bug report. (As with all generalizations, there are exceptions, but 9 times out of 10, if I see an issue with a few sentences, I know I'm about to get my time wasted.)

Tbh I think Rust is way easier than people make it out to be You can literally learn it in 2 weeks What I did was I took 15 minutes a day to solve a programming puzzle in Rust After 2 weeks I basically had memorized almost all the patterns to solving borrow checker errors

Personally, I place bigger blame not on the programmers, but on the incentives and processes that have developed in corporate software. You have to be a rather senior and decently trusted programmer in a company for a while to get the room to deep dive, and rabbit hole, on…

One of the most baffling creative stories of all time is how the ultimate line of Willy Wonka (1971) was written on vacation, over the phone, on a whim at the last fucking minute, while everyone on set waited

Rust is near perfect fit for high throughput data engineering, change my mind.
