And I've finished Chapter 4 'Compiling Expressions' in #Zig

After using #Zig for a while, I'm still mixed on treating memory errors the same as any other error. In my setup, actual OOMs basically never happen, yet I keep bubbling up !void + try everywhere because allocations are scattered around. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just how it is? 🤔

I’ll slow my pace a bit over the next few weeks as exams are coming up. In the meantime, I’m rewriting a small game engine for a board game as a way to unwind and clear my head at the end of each day…

Just finished Chapter 3 of #CraftingInterpreters in #Zig! Started building the lexer and compiler. Also porting the whole thing to #Rust at the same time for fun 😅 Zig docs are still a bit of a maze, but I’m getting there...

Part 2 is rolling! 🚀 Just finished chapters 1 and 2 in #Zig. I implemented the basic bytecode instructions and a tiny VM. The code feels much cleaner than the C version in the book, and it was less painful to translate than Part 1 in OCaml. Really enjoying Zig so far! #CraftingInterpreters

Part 1 complete! 🎉 I’ve just finished the last chapter "Inheritance", all in roughly 1800 lines of #OCaml. It’s been a really fun. Lots learned, and the interpreter is working nicely! Now I’ll work on the README: write a bit about what I learned and my overall experience with the project/language

Second-to-last chapter done! Finished Chapter 12. This one involved a lot of moving things around 😵‍💫 For Part 2 of Crafting Interpreters, I’ve decided to follow along in #Zig! #CraftingInterpreters #OCaml

For part 2 of Crafting Interpreters, I’m still hesitating between #Zig and #Rust…

Resolved a tricky scoping issue in my #OCaml interpreter! 🎉 The interpreter uses a stack of hashtables to handle variables in different scopes. But that alone isn't enough, without knowing the "distance" to a variable, the interpreter can easily pick the wrong one if a local shadows a global. 1/

Just finished Chapter 11: Resolving and Binding 🔥 This chapter was pretty tough. It makes you think about variable scoping and resolving before the interpreter runs. I had to leave one bug for now: Bindings can collide in my Hashtable because I still need to implement a proper functor. #OCaml

I just finished Chapter 10 yay! 🎉 I didn’t see the return statement being implemented with an exception coming at all! Had to dig a bit to map it to my #OCaml implementation. Now I only have 3 more chapters left until I finish my lox #OCaml interpreter

Hey! I'm back from vacation! ⛷️ Before I left, I finished Chapter 9 of Crafting Interpreters and started Chapter 10. I hit several circular dependency issues, so I'm doing a small refactor before continuing. Feels good to be back at it! 🔥 #OCaml

Just finished Chapter 8, "Statements and State"! Wow that was longer and tougher than the previous chapters 😅 Kinda proud of running my first lox script #OCaml

And just finished Chapter 7 "Evaluating Expressions" of the book "Crafting Interpreters" #OCaml

Just finished Chapter 6 (parsing) of the awesome "Crafting Interpreters" book 🔥 Can’t resist adding a twist: turning the imperative #Java code into functional-ish #OCaml 😄🚀

Hey 🫣 long time no see! You all still here? To kick the grind back, I’m tinkering with a fun project: adding Discord presence to my editor that doesn’t support extensions, using LSP as a workaround #rust #dev

This year’s #AdventOfCode was awesome 🎄💻 I’ll go a bit quiet now to focus on my exams, but I’ll be back soon. When I return, I’ll continue my project and document the whole journey

I just completed all 12 days of Advent of Code 2025! A bit late, but it was really fun ! #AdventOfCode #Rust adventofcode.com

Wow! It’s been over a week since my last post, lots of unexpected things happened... 🤯 I just completed "Reactor" - Day 11 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode #Rust adventofcode.com/2025/day/11 View my solution here: github.com/NotAJocke/ao...

Had to rush one of my last project of the Q1 for uni, will catch up #AdventOfCode later today…

Part 1 was easy, a simple BFS did the job. Part 2 was horrible… I can’t stand math puzzles, and I even broke my own rule by using an AI to get through it. I just completed "Factory" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode #Rust adventofcode.com/2025/day/10

Part 1 was easy, but I was scared of what Part 2 might look like 😅 When I read it, it instantly clicked, we just covered an algorithm at uni that fits perfectly: the PIP algorithm (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_i...) Maybe not the most optimal approach, I might revisit later

This one was HARD 💀 Might revisit it later to see if I can improve performance I just completed "Playground" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/8

Took a day off yesterday, so I'm catching up 💪 Starting Day 8 later today I just completed "Laboratories" - Day 7 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/7 View my solution: github.com/NotAJocke/ao...

I’ll clean up my code and post it later today! I just completed "Trash Compactor" - Day 6 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/6

Going down a rabbit hole for part 2, not sure if I still want to live... 💀 #AdventOfCode

Blazingly fast today ! ⚡ For anyone interested, I'll explain my solutions below. I just completed "Cafeteria" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/5 My solution: github.com/NotAJocke/ao...

Didn't bother overthinking part 2, just looped part 1 😅 I've completed "Printing Department" - Day 4 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/4 My solution: github.com/NotAJocke/ao...

Today's Day 3 of #AdventOfCode 2025 was interesting 😅 Part 1 went smoothly, but Part 2 had me rewriting my solution a couple of times before it clicked 🫩 I've completed "Lobby" - Day 3 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/3 My solution: github.com/NotAJocke/ao...

#Bun bought by @anthropic.com wasn't on my 2025 bingo...

Today’s puzzle clicked instantly thanks to Rust’s Range type! 🎯 I've completed "Gift Shop" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/2

Programming socks on 🧦, challenge engaged! Rust btw 🦀 Just finished 'Secret Entrance' - Day 1 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode Puzzle: adventofcode.com/2025/day/1 My solution: github.com/NotAJocke/ao...

I just prepared my rust repo for this year's #AdventOfCode 🎉🎅

Developers, I’m wondering, what don’t you like about #atproto ? I’ll take notes 📝

It’s been a while since my last update, uni’s been keeping me busy with some tough stats projects 📚 Haven’t made much progress on my current project lately, but I’ve started brainstorming a new one that I’ll begin in parallel once I free up some time ⚙️ #BuildInPublic

🚨 Sprint update 🚨 The 2-week sprint didn’t exactly get off to the best start — I was sick earlier this week 🤒. Today though, I completely lost my mind fighting with multi-day rendering logic… but finally got it working 🎉 #BuildInPublic

The next two weeks are going to be intense. Let’s see how this cycle goes. 💥 #BuildInPublic

No update to share right now 🚧 I’m porting the product from Swift to SvelteKit. Why? → Faster iterations without Xcode, stronger TS knowledge (for me and LLMs), and no device lock-in ✨ Excited to move quicker & ship better. #BuildInPublic

This morning I hacked together the current time indicator ⏰ and started on the todos view 👀 Gotta head to work now, will continue tonight 🌙 #BuildInPublic

This morning: 30 minutes of battling Xcode and memory corruption. Nearly lost my mind 😅 Progress: minimal. #BuildInPublic

Time’s been tight lately, but I still made some progress! 💻 Focused on improving the weekly view and refining the architecture under the hood. #BuildInPublic

#AppleEvent the new watch still lasts 24 hours :/

Started a new project today ! 📅 - Implemented a basic grid view - Used the Command design pattern to prepare the command palette #buildinpublic

With the new chatgpt-oss release from OpenAI, I’m planning to build a small local utility that summarizes my emails. Local processing, no cloud. 📨 Also, I’ll be more active on here from now on, expect more projects soon 👀

People love to jump on the ‘Microsoft bad’ train. But in this case, Cursor is at fault. The extension is licensed only for Microsoft products, and the GitHub clearly states forks can’t use the MS extension store. Microsoft invested heavily in VSCode—it’s their right to protect it.

🦀 Hello World! The Rust project now has an official presence on Bluesky! ✨ We'll be posting the same on our Mastodon and Bluesky accounts, so you won't miss anything on either platform.

Not in the professional world yet and I already hate agile…

I've been trying a new code editor called Void 🕳️ It's cursor-like but open source and can work with local llms. Even though it's still in beta, it's already pretty powerful!

So one good thing that seems to be happening right now is that a new end-to-end encryption standard "MLS" seems to be gaining a lot of momentum. Like, a lot. And from what I understand this is an important step there as well, because RCS' encryption is MLS. Security folks correct me if I'm wrong

If Google is forced to sell Chrome, they will no longer invest in the Chromium project, which will have a HUGE impact on much more than just the web
