I wanted to share a story of a segmentation fault I helped track down this weekend. I thought the final root cause of the segfault was interesting because of how unrelated it was to the code I was trying to debug.
js;dr = JavaScript required; Didn’t Read. Pages that are empty without JS: dead to history (archive-org), unreliable for search results (despite any search engine claims of JS support, check it yourself), and thus ignorable. No need to waste time reading or responding. Also known as, if it’s not curlable, it’s not on…
Comparing the core values of our text editors, describing the history of Neovim's development, and discussing the rise of VSCode.
Welcome! This is a series of blog posts that shows you how to build a text editor in Rust.
After working through “the book” on the Rust programming language and getting started with the first non-trivial, real-world application I found myself faced with a question I didn’t yet feel well-equipped to handle: “How should you structure error handling in a mature rust application?”
This is the first post in a series about writing REST servers in Go. My plan with this series is to implement a simple REST server using several different approaches, which should make it easy to compare and contrast these approaches and their relative merits.

[Warning: Those who can’t stand EDM/dubstep, oh boy do I have bad news for you in regards to this blog post]
I have switched teams more often than I have had to implement an AVL tree, and you can guess which one of those two was taught in school. I wish someone had taught me how to join a new team! While learning a new codebase can be daunting, I've found a few things that work for me.
To be successful at digital transformation you need to optimize the key feedback loops in your software engineering organization
How I decided to write a spellchecker and almost died trying
My little donut.c has been making the rounds again, after being featured in a couple YouTube videos (e.g., Lex Fridman and Joma Tech ). If I had known how much attention this code would get over the years, I would have spent more time on it.

While Bitcoin is the gold standard in crypto, Ethereum has been the innovator, bringing new ideas, particularly smart contracts, to the table. Smart contracts allow developers to easily build things on a blockchain and we have seen a proliferation of new things built on the Ethereum blockchain as a result. But what if…

Identify Problems Before They Become Disasters
This is the story of a bug that was discovered and fixed in Telegram’s self-rolled cryptographic protocol about seven years ago. The bug didn’t get any press, and no one seems to know about it, probably because it was only published in Russian.
