We worked together over 4 years . Reliable, skilled and very competent software engineer. Strong in Rust, React, TypeScript, Svelte, and even embedded Rust. Highly recommended.

#rustlang #typescript #react #svelte
Welly, my employer didn't even check if I managed to finish the almost impossible goal they set me before they let me go.

Anybody looking for a software developer with experience in among others Rust/C#/React/Svelte.
I've done a lot of embedded Rust for private projects as well

This was known in 1985, see pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/Naur....

TLDR; the things we change, change us. Programming is not only something we do, it does something to us too, and that thing cannot be transferred (even with impeccable docs) - we build a non transferable “thesis” internally.

But, weirdly, it's pretty bad at summarising code I *do* understand.

Posts like this are why I open the Bluesky app! You never know what weird new interest you might develop out of nowhere and now are deep in a rabbit hole of papers you don’t understand. Love it!
Yesterday I learnt that mathematical (computational?) neuroscience builds off non-linear dynamical systems via this Reddit thread (which as of writing has two resource/expert recommendations), fascinating!
