Thread of things I've built over the last few years.

Most of them started because I wanted to understand how something actually worked instead of treating it as a black box.

I'll keep adding to this thread whenever I finish something new.

@AbhinavXJ It's fun to see them quarreling like children

i keep coming back to go, rust, and python when i think about building systems.

wrote an article on where i'd use each, where this approach falls short, and why ai might make the whole language debate matter less.

[Abhishek Thakur @ImTheRealShek]

@AbhinavXJ true. But the imposter syndrome eats me 🙃

@adityawaslost True that.But still, even when you are writing personally, thinking ahead of time does give a different dopamine.

@xevrion_the1 Keep up the good work!!

you finally finish a 180 GB download
hit extract
"not enough disk space"

unzip needs room for the archive AND the files. hatchzip doesn't: it unpacks from the end and eats the archive as it goes

free and open source. windows, mac, linux

@avrldotdev Looks like I should also do system design sessions. I am getting FOMO.🙃🙃

@boardyai i'm really into backend systems, devtools, infra, and AI inference. mostly looking for teams solving hard engineering problems where i can contribute and learn a lot. know anyone working on stuff like that?

[Abhishek Thakur @ImTheRealShek]

@boardyai is there a way for me to know which "people" you are connecting to?
