Something I've kept for many years - a log book with designs and results. A good excuse to get the fountain pen out :)

One size fits all - madness that way lies.

Loved this article, been trying to get QEMU working with Espressif chips (on and off) for a while.

In my experience with LLMs and coding we have a 50/25/25 Rule:

50% of the time - Great code that works
25% of the time - OK, I'll just add a few corrections / tweaks
25% of the time - The code is rubbish

Still, I can read and correct faster than I can type 200 lines of new code.

Read that a while ago, interesting, and sometimes disturbing, book.

Interesting that you have to use addr2line. The last time I was using heap tracing I used the command "idf.py monitor" in a terminal to run my application. The script then decoded all of the tracebacks from the standalone heap trace output automatically.
