Null pointers look simple on the surface, and that’s why they’re so dangerous. As compiler optimizations, intuitive but incorrect simplifications, and platform-specific quirks have piled on, the odds of making a wrong assumption have increased, leading to the proliferation of bugs and vulnerabilities. This article…
Disclaimer: This story took place when I was a junior developer for a previous employer ages ago. Some details might be fuzzy, and goes without saying this is entirely from my own POV so take everything here with humor and a grain of salt.
My journey in finding and fixing a bug in a C++ toolchain
A set of recipes for using Makefiles for web development.
It's not about technology for its own sake. It's about being able to implement your ideas.

JSON-API has been one of the most popular standards for API development for a while now. It was conceived in 2013, battled through some rather different RC versions (changing drastically as it went), finally stabilizing with v1.0 back in mid-2015. My interest in JSON-API has changed
Rust versus Go is a controversial topic that pops up from time. In this post, we will compare both languages in the context of web development by writing a small web service which shows weather data in both languages.
As part of my ongoing (and somewhat futile) efforts to ReDeCentralise, I'm looking at moving my personal projects away from GitHub. I already have accounts with GitLab and CodeBerg - but both of those sites are run by someone else. While they're lovely now, there's nothing stopping them becoming as slow or AI-infested…

I remember those days, oh so long ago, it seems like another lifetime. I haven’t used Pandas in many a year, decades, or whatever. We’ve all been there, done that. Pandas I mean. I would dare say it’s a rite of passage for most data folk. For those using Python, it’s probably one of the […]
We announced JMAP 10 years ago, here is an update on its progress
I agree with you. How is it that in order to build an application on the web I need to know at least seven technologies? Client side: - Javascrit - Coffescript to make JS seem sane - Angular or Jquery to make JS seem productive - CSS - SASS to make CSS seem sane - HTML5 - localstorage (to save somethnig) Server side …
