Awesome. I'm glad it works out for you. I come from tiling WMs (i3, dwm) but have been using Gnome for a couple of years and replaced my tiling workflow with kitty tiling, which is for me the best way to do it and I can't do without anymore. Really hope this comes to Ghostty. I would switch directly

I really wanted to use #Ghostty. Hype train victim ๐Ÿš‚. And yes it's awesome. But I'm sticking to #kitty because of the dynamic tiling. Can't do without.

Revisited #AdventOfCode Day 15. Nothing fancy, just some emoji masturbation. Simple grid rendering to the terminal on each move

The problem with lagging behind is that you subconsciously see hints left and right. It's a lot easier lagging behind a little ๐Ÿ˜…

Procrastinating on #AdventOfCode by playing around with some goofy visualizations for Day 12. I don't check for adjacent regions so some may share the same emoji

I actually solved part 2 first because I misunderstood ๐Ÿ˜…. Also I used a `[ROWS][COLUMNS]bool` matrix instead of a hashset, to not have to allocate. I've been doing this thing that I try avoiding allocation as much as possible and try and do everything on the stack.

I'm a bit of a Rust fan boy. So I might be biased ๐Ÿ˜. But in my opinion Rust is absolutely excellent. It might be a bit more of a steep learning curve but once your over that initial hurdle it's gift that keeps on giving. We use it in production very successfully.

Yeah seems kinda tough to start a serious project in it right now. Although many have done so (e.g. TigerBeetle, Ghostty). I like to just fool around with it a bit, and keep all my serious stuff in Rust.

Just doing it now. Yeah it seems kinda awkward to do it nice.

Can't believe I actually managed to do Day 7 and 8 of #AdventOfCode after working 8hrs today.

I'm way to addicted to this shit right now ๐Ÿ˜.
