Your developers aren’t slow
“Why didn’t we ship last week?” As managers, it’s easy for us to blame our team for missing deadlines. But are slow developers really the reason you’re not shipping on time? At Sprintly, we have a lot of data on developer cycle time. We track how long it takes them to complete different types of …

A Thought Experiment: Using the ECS Pattern Outside of Game Engines
It’s been about 6 months since I watched Catherine West’s excellent Using Rust for Game Development sent me down the Entity-Component-System (ECS) rabbit hole, and I thought I’d share some of my findings. I’ve been meaning to write about this for quite a while now but it took a while to put my thoughts into a cohesive…

My experience crafting an interpreter with Rust (2021)
Last year I finally decided to learn some Rust. The official book by Steve Klabnik and Carol Nichols is excellent, but even after reading it and working on some small code exercises, I felt that I needed more to really understand the language.
