Cette BD qu’on avait à la maison était tellement traumatisante, pour l’ado que j’étais.
C’est un peu chaud non, d’exposer ses élèves à ça ? C’est une sacrée oeuvre, bien sûr, mais c’est tellement noir ! 😅

We’re building a new static type checker for Python, from scratch, in Rust.

From a technical perspective, it’s probably our most ambitious project yet. We’re about 800 PRs deep!

It was really valuable for me to stay at a single company long enough to live with the consequences of my own engineering decisions. To come face-to-face with my own technical debt.
