You're winning at coding and losing at life. Both are operations on the same vector. Here's the geometry, and the exit.

Writing is expensive. Thinking isn't. Vibe blogging breaks the asymmetry — I do the thinking, a model does the writing, and the ideas, the taste, and the system are mine.

I stress-tested five in-process event buses across five languages until each one crashed. No library survives every axis. None of them fail the same way. Here are the graphs.

I wrote rt-events because I wanted a typed pub/sub in Rust. Then I benchmarked it against ten other languages and it came out ahead of monomorphized C++. The hot loop is six instructions. I cannot make it go any faster. Can you?

Most of a codebase can be written in parallel if you decide the seams first. That decision is the only part that cannot be parallelized.

Standard semver collapses everything below 1.0 into one bucket. Three zeros, three different promises missing.

I discovered that everything I value is circular reasoning, a crutch against death. Even so, I chose to dance.
