Set up a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on every PR. Took 10 minutes to configure.

Read about ‘Event Sourcing’. Might overkill for my projects but fascinating concept.

Built a small pixel-art editor. Canvas API is surprisingly capable for 2D work.

Tried out the new Rust 2024 edition features. The async improvements are nice.

Learned about the ‘Open/Closed Principle’ today. Refactoring in progress…

Experimented with SvelteKit for a side project. The simplicity is addictive.

Set up tmux session management with tmuxinator. Finally organized my dev workflow.

Discovered ‘The Art of Unix Programming’ again. Re-reading it at a different stage of my career is a completely different experience.

Wrote my first Zig program. The explicit error handling takes getting used to but the language feels honest.

Explored the new CSS container queries. Game-changer for truly modular components.

Learned about the ‘fail-fast’ principle. Applied it to my game engine’s initialization — caught 3 bugs immediately.

Tried Vercel Edge Functions for the first time. Interesting model but not quite ready for my use case.

Built a small CLI tool to batch-resize images for my blog. Rust + clap made it trivial.

Read through the Rustonomicon chapter on unsafe patterns. Eye-opening.

Experimented with WebGPU compute shaders. The future of GPU programming in the browser.

Set up a custom ZSH theme today. Small things, but the terminal feels more ‘mine’ now.

Discovered the ‘Hacker’s Delight’ book. Classic. Wish I’d found it earlier.

Tried out Bun as a Node.js drop-in replacement. Surprisingly fast, but some packages still have compatibility issues.

Learned about the Liskov Substitution Principle. Makes sense in hindsight but I’ve violated it countless times.

Spent the morning debugging a Rust borrow checker error. It was my own fault — moved the variable into a closure by accident.

Figured out how to properly debounce a search input today. Simple but easy to get wrong.
