It turns out that the basics of a promise queue are fun rivea0.github.io/blog/promise...

Okay, so mostly due to a terrible cold, I couldn't catch up with #AdventOfCode this year and wrote some very horrifying Rust code but have been taking some chaotic notes: - remainder and mod are not the same, also `rem_euclid` is very nice - understand the problem correctly (applies everywhere) 1/2

Excited to find out if #AdventOfCode being only 12 days this year will make me more likely to complete it this time.

Had an amazing time last week at the #ffconf2025 and exploring (very sunny) Brighton!

Wondering how using AI coding tools impacts how we learn technical skills? Good news: @rivea0.bsky.social and I are giving a talk about this at @ffconf.org in Brighton on the Nov 14th! There's still a few tickets left if you've been meaning to come along and say hello!

Heya, who else is going to @ffconf.org in Brighton this year? Friday 14th Nov 2025.ffconf.org ffconf is my annual reminder that there are humans out there in the tech industry who actually care about other humans. Always a pleasure to attend. 😍💛 Hope to meet folks there.

So, I joined IEEE Spectrum's "Will AI End Distinct Programming Languages?" livestream yesterday. Several takeaways: - The number of questions asked on Stack Exchange is dropping because people prefer to use AI chatbots instead, so there's less public discussion (1/3)

So excited to be speaking with @rivea0.bsky.social at @ffconf.org on Nov 14th about the skills impact of AI coding tools on us as individuals, on our teams and in our industry. It would be so lovely to see some of you there! 2025.ffconf.org/jessica-eda
