#Rust #AdventOfCode day 08 spoiler. Today I hadn't any clue. So I cheated to find out which algorithm to use. Part two in 18ms. Good opportunity to learn and implement. github.com/akhansari/ad...

#Rust #AdventOfCode day 07 in 62µs. I first used BFS with VecDeque + Hashing, but just reusing fixed vectors is much simpler.

#Rust #AdventOfCode day 06 spoiler. Part two in 95µs. I had some difficulties to implement the trait.

Quite predictable! "This study shows more than 800 popular GitHub projects with code quality degrading after adopting AI tools." "There’s a real risk that newer models will reinforce and amplify those trends, producing even worse code over time."

Some fragments on AI, its impact on maintainability, the dangers from its jailbreaking, developer workflows - and how it can be an ally against Parkinson's disease martinfowler.com/articles/202...

If copilot is activated on the editor, e v e r y single character and so all sensitive data are sent to remote servers. Before AI bubble, it would have been just unimaginable and scandalous. It's interesting that people's minds change with the first wind.

Dependency Injection Containers are so horrible! It's a smell if an app needs some magic and a complex dependency graph to work 🍝 Dependency Injection doesn't need containers.

This year I'm experimenting with #Rust. #AdventOfCode day 01 and 02.

Wow #Rust regex libraries are so slow to handle backreferences compared to other languages...

Oh with the latest version of nushell.sh, I no longer need regex101.com ✨

Testing Fedora Cosmic Atomic. So far so good. Now I don't know what to choose between this and CachyOS. Both are good but so different.

Ready for Advent of Svelte 2025? 👀 advent.sveltesociety.dev/2025

The two extremes of #TypeScript are what I dislike most about this language. Typing may be limited or nonexistent, or it may be overly complex and unnecessary. The language doesn't push by design for the balance.

🎉 Unison 1.0 has landed! After years of engineering, design, and community collaboration, we’re excited to announce this milestone! Spread the word!

It's interesting. Since fully switching to Linux 3y ago, the browser (Zen) and the terminal (Ghostty) are the only two GUI apps that I use 99% of the time. The other 1% is Gimp. Before that, I used at least a dozen apps every day.

HCL is Hashicorp's worst invention. I hope CDKTF becomes more mainstream. Any configuration language or IaC that cannot be written in the application's default language is nonsense!

Here is my second article in the series Designing with Types using #TypeScript and #Effect-TS. akhansari.tech/designing-wi... #Domain-Modeling

I should stop creating new projects on GitHub... He's got a point. youtu.be/AyuMdNoL1Vs

akhansari.tech/designing-wi... I'll try to write a series of articles based on Scott Wlaschin's series but for TypeScript.

I've just discovered another fancy concept (again) for object-oriented programming: Object Calisthenics! And then I am so happy that I can just rely on functions and immutable data to write sustainable and boring code.

It would be foolish for a company to choose GitHub over GitLab. There are so many missing features that will wrongly shape your organization.

Technical debt's a bitch. Any architecture shortcut lurks patiently in the shadows, waiting to bit or kill you later at the worst possible time. It's okay to have it temporarily, but it has to shine so brightly that it reminds you every moment that it's there.

The best tools make your work easier. The worst tools do your thinking for you and do some magic. Isn't AI just a tool?

Mise is such an awesome and underrated tool. I use it as: - makefile - global and local tool manager (node, dotnet, rust, github releases, etc) - env vars and secrets manager mise.jdx.dev

They are both so good! I couldn't wait and I've been testing them for 5 days already on my personal PC. Definitely adopted! Cosmic is still in beta but almost perfect in tiling mode. I'm looking forward to testing the final version.

CachyOS.org seems great. Once system76.com/cosmic desktop is ready, I think I'll switch to using it at work.

Sometimes, I get the impression that complexity and tight coupling benefit certain folks, making them seem essential and indispensable to the company.

In 5y Typescript compiler will be rewritten in Zig or C 🤷

Oh, interesting. Some companies are switching from TypeScript to C#. engineering.usemotion.com/moving-off-o...

"The discipline doesn't scale"

Effect.gen is very similar to F#'s Computation Expression. It's a real pleasure to use, even if I miss F# so much. I think I'll heavily use it with Drizzle and other I/O operations. effect.website/docs/getting...

I sometimes find the LLM.txt files more useful and interesting than the actual documentation for humans.

Moral relativism and lesser of two evils principle are the new driving forces of this decade.

2y ago, I switched fully to Linux, along with CLI/TUI workflows. Using Windows was foolish of me for 10y, especially since Linux has become a decent desktop. Also Microsoft without realizing it, accelerated the migration for developers thanks to the popularization of LSPs and cross-platform apps.

And finally my second blog post. For several months it had been gathering dust in my blog drafts. akhansari.tech/a-survival-g...

`pnpm audit` should be part of the CI/CD and a blocker.
