My thoughts on OCaml
Since 2013 I’ve had the chance to use OCaml a few times in different jobs, and I got frustrated and disappointed every time I had to use it. I just don’t enjoy writing OCaml.

Refactoring has a price, not refactoring has a cost
We either refactor continuously as we build features -- paying the price. Or we slowly accumulate cruft until our codebase is impossible to change -- paying the cost.

OOP in C
The art of good programming depends upon the discipline of the programmer, no matter what language is being used. The purpose of object oriented programming (OOP) is to produce well designed reusable code. In principle OOP can be done in any language, even assembly. This is because all OO language compilers/assemblers…

Intuitively Understanding Harris Corner Detector
If you ever tried to learn how the Harris corner detection algorithm works, you might have noticed that the process is not intuitive at all. First, you start with an energy function, approximate it using Taylor approximation, get a matrix from that, then find the eigenvalues of that matrix, etc. But when you come to…

My review of the C standard library in practice
In general, when working in C I avoid the standard library, libc, as much as possible. If possible I won’t even link it.
