Man nostalgia hits you like a truck. Just remembering the gameboy colour and Pokémon yellow. I had a Mew that would not listen to me. Beating the elite 4 was hard. I had to borrow an Alakazam from my cousin. Serves me right for not training all my Pokémon equally. #nostalgia #pokemon

I wrote a little guessing game a few years ago when I was first learning Rust. The other day, I decided to remake it in C. I was not expecting the difference in size. The games are identical, but the Rust version is 5 MB while the C version is 16 KB. The random number crate might be the reason 🤔 #c

@c-official.bsky.social Adding command-line options to a C program is actually way more pleasant than I expected. #c #cpd #RecreationalProgramming

Breakfast with a side of #c Chapter 9. Probably the fastest progress I’ve made with a book I was expecting to be dry. The reviews aren’t selling it short.

I talk about learning Haskell a lot, but I figured it was time to go a bit lower level and start working with some C. If you haven’t read this book yet, it’s really good. I’m only on chapter 8, but I’m enjoying it so far. #c #lowlevel #cpd

@vodafonegroup.bsky.social Looks like broadband is down in the Manchester region UK? What’s happening

When clearing out your documents directory and you find a file that is most probably a drawing. But you don’t have the software to open it installed. To install GIMP or not… #old #drawing #FOSS

Just sold my 15 year old MacBook Pro. It might become a useful server for someone else. #recycle

🎬 Just released ReqCassette v0.1 - VCR-style HTTP testing for @elixir-lang.org's Req library! ✅ Async-safe ✅ Built on Req.Test ✅ Perfect for API testing (specially with the new ReqLLM in mind) Record once, replay forever! 📦 hex.pm/packages/req... #elixirlang #ElixirLang

Everything is Haskell if you squint hard enough. But nothing is as good as the real thing.

How much C Lang can I learn in 4 days 🤔 *sigh* there is never enough time. #c #software #cpd

The zed editor (by @zed.dev ) has finally come to windows. I use Helix, but if I ever end up back on windows again, and need an editor, I know what I’ll be using. #software #zed #editors

Did a Python test recently and realized Haskell has completely rewired my brain. I wrote length(some_iterable) instead of len(some_iterable); fair enough, that’s muscle memory from Haskell. But then I used pass instead of continue in a loop… no excuse for that one. 😅 #haskell #python

They just don’t make game music like they used to. This arrangement of “Gweelee’s” theme is pretty darn good. #nostalgia #videogames youtu.be/DpJOFHBCFAM?...

There aren’t many things better than heading to a café with a good book or a laptop to hack away on a personal project. Well… maybe travel. Hard to beat that. #cafe #recreationalprogramming #coffee

So real ✊😔

If anyone hasn’t read it yet, I recommend effective Haskell. I’ve not finished it. But so far so good. #cpd #haskell #functional

Anyone else get really excited when they see a job posting that has a really niche programming language? Just me? #diversity #adoption #growth

Must fight urge to look at JuliaLang… Need to get better at Haskell… #TooMuchChoice

I hate how I either can't write for the life of me, or end up writing a blog post in a crazed frenzy in an evening 🙃

The BEAM is such a superpower
