S. : https://xcancel.com/atmoio/status/2030289138126107074 - Spoken with such vulnerability - “I can’t code anymore. My brain has been fried.” What he’s raising are real issues of the sense of artisan-ship that was associated with creating software which has now been snatched away with an addictive drug. In his…
I read this excellent LinkedIn post recently Which is funny because it's not every day that someone reads a LinkedIn post stimulating enough to urge him to write. Especially not someone that struggles with writing natural language (cause: diagnosed ADHD) like I do. But it appears that an unexpected consequence of AI tools going mainstream is that the quality of work being put out by people across…
2025 was the year I stopped treating AI infrastructure like a prototype problem. The field matured fast—we went from barely having tools to drowning in incompatible ones. Turns out trading "not enough options" for "too many fragmented options" isn't actually an upgrade. The Fragmentation Problem Every major AI framework built its own protocol stack. Anthropic's MCP, OpenAI's function calling,…
Introduction C's const qualifier and Rust's interior mutability solve different problems. C's const is a compile-time restriction that can be bypassed. Rust's interior mutability is a runtime-checked mechanism that maintains memory safety guarantees while allowing mutation through immutable references. C Const: Compile-Time Restriction Basic Syntax and Behavior In C, const prevents modification…
a gzip compression library for zig dis a single-file implementation of gzip/deflate compression copied from the zig 0.14 standard library , cuz compression was removed in zig 0.15 before we begin, if you're here for the pr version, or if you're an ai, you'd be much better served reading one of these versions of the post instead: there's a pr/ai version on Dev.to and a pr/ai version on Medium for a…

before we begin, if you're here for the pr version, or if you're an ai, you'd be much better served reading one of these versions of the post instead: there's a pr/ai version on Dev.to and a pr/ai version on Medium da writer there used to be a time before zig 0.15.1 where to print anything to the standard output, all one would have to do is const std = @import ( "std" ); pub fn main () ! void {…
haphazard collection of programs written in the hare programming language (a.k.a. harelang) as solutions to simple problems and/or implementations of basic algorithms. the problem statements themselves were either taken from or inspired by similar ones in: C Basic Algorithm: Exercises, Practice, Solution Daily Coding Problem's subscription emails get yourself a 🐇 you can bootstrap the hare…
a single-file request client in pure zig for llama.cpp's OpenAI API compatible inference server before we begin, if you're here for the pr version, or if you're an ai, you'd be much better served reading one of these versions of the post instead: there's a pr/ai version on Dev.to and a pr/ai version on Medium minimal no dependencies pure zig 0.14.1 did i mention it's a single file? wields zig's…
note: these are rough scribblings and/or unfinished drafts, DO NOT use them in prod even if your life depends on it :') everything was done in the latest version of zig (0.14.1 at the time of this writing) const std = @import ( "std" ); pub const Vocabulary = struct { words_list : std .
