It's humbling when programming with a lower-level language like Zig. This morning I spent an hour trying to figure out how to allocate a two-dimensional array. After a while I just gave up and decided to implement a two-dimensional array from a single dimension. After all, it'…
If you rather look at the code instead, you can find it here. Could be four weeks, really. I'm not sure at this point, but I'm glad to have fixed the clicking sound I used to hear between buffers. It's been about a month…
It's been about a month or more since I started the Handmade series. It's by far the thing that's stretched my abilities the furthest. It's pushing me to take things slower, understand them, and do them right. To be candid, most of…
Yesterday around midday, I had the realization that I spend far too much time being distracted and that I need to do something about it. The amount is embarrassingly high, it averaged around seven hours a day last week. It's not a guess either; thanks to the Screen…
Last year I wrote a post about how I write my Templ UI components with HTMX. I came across that post as I was Googling something for Templ stuff. When I saw that it had been a year since I wrote it, I thought I should write a sequel. Especially…
It's what cool kids are using nowadays. So when yesterday my latest Chromium update broke the font rendering, I decided to try it out. It's the Zen Browser. It's cool, but I think I already miss the simplicity of Chromium, or maybe I just…
It's been over a year since I switched to Zig to build all my side/curiosity projects. Surprisingly, switching to a lower-level language has consistently improved the quality of my projects and my love for programming. I find myself being able to get braver and approach programs I…
I'm quite a private person and I like to work on things I want to, the way I want to without input from others. It's not ideal. I've realized some of it is from the fear of being judged. It has it's…
