Reading is not as bad as I thought it'd be

While I wait for project idea for Zig, I've been reading the Zig language spec from top to bottom. More like continuing on from where I left of. There are few things thats really cool about the documentation. It's quite concise without being too hard to…

When to quit a project?

I've been working on the browser project for about a couple of months now. My main goal was to have an idea about how to draw stuff on the screen. When I finished implementing the scroll feature two days ago it felt like I was done. At some…

Zrome, the Zig browser (nerd sniped)

Last month I was building a browser in Go because I came across this book, it is safe to assume that a lot less work was done last month. That would have been okay on its own. It would definitely qualify as getting nerd sniped. After writing all the network…
