You would *hope* that software developer job interviews and software development wouldn't require two distinctly different sets of skills.

Martin with a big smile wears a backward red cap, a red hoodie, and a gray T-shirt that says β€œMUSIC BAND.” He holds a skateboard over his shoulder and stands in a school hallway. The text on the image reads, β€œHOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS?”

Learn Wasm by building a simple compiler in JavaScript. No compiler expertise necessary. All the code is in the book; we'll take you through it step by step. Get your hands dirty and see for yourself what WebAssembly is all about.

Excited to announce the official launch of our online book, WebAssembly from the Ground Up! πŸŽ‰

It's the book we wish we'd had 3 years ago.

No messing with tools and frameworks. It's a hands-on guide to the core of Wasm: the instruction set and module format.

Link below. πŸ‘‡

Saving papers or articles to read? Just mark them as stale every morning; last 3 things I pulled from my "to read list" were outdated already. Sigh
Anything interesting you got that I can mark as stale by tomorrow?

New prompt technique: stop being smarty pants. nobody wants code comments for indecipherable code. write readable code instead. thank you.

It's funny how people think that AI tools out there can just implement a "model switcher" and be independent of the underlying model behaviour...brace yourselves. SOTA doesn't mean equal

Running scripts | uv A guide to using uv to run Python scripts, including support for inline dependency metadata, reproducible scripts, and more.

While I've moved on a while ago, I still regularly rave about JDTs incremental compiler and how nothing ever came close :)

True but that's less of a model problem and more a function of providing the right context

Across various programming languages I work with, LLMs became more reliable in fixing imports properly than language tooling itself πŸ€”

Mufasa: Look, Simba. Everything the light touches is our beautiful, well-maintained code base.

Simba: But what's that shadowy place over there?

Mufasa: API V1, which still handles 95% of requests.

Running pytest against a specific Python version with uv run While working on this issue I figured out a neat pattern for running the tests for my project locally against a specific Python version using uv run :

Tiny TIL: I just figured out how to run pytest with a different Python version against my pyproject.toml/setup.py projects using uv run

uv run --python 3.12 --with '.[test]' pytest

Programming languages: "We are just a way to operate computers in a way that makes sense to humans."

Programming languages [takes a big joint hit]: "What if there were 5 kinds of nothingness?"
