what i’m working on

after many months i spent some time on a project i’m working with a friend to build a sort of “home cloud” platform. it’s always weird coming to a project having no clue where you left it and trying to stitch some context from whatever happens when you run pnpm start

i also found a handy little way to open links from the vscode terminal

what i found

i spent a little time learning about logic programming and came across an interesting talk about some of the challenges when writing libraries

prolog

a logic programming language - super weird but this talk on prolog by Michael Hendricks helped shed some light on how this is something that’s actually usable

standard libraries

i also came across a great talk about some challenges when maintaining something like the kotlin standard library by Vsevolod Tolstopyatov
