Type-Safe Configs in C99: Why I Prefer Code-Gen over Parsing
How shifting configuration validation to a build-step eliminates boilerplate and runtime errors in C.
Dense Arena Interning: The Engine of Compiler Performance
How paying the O(L) hashing cost upfront buys you O(1) lookups everywhere else—and why dense indexing transforms your symbol tables.
The Nitty Gritty of zog: Pushing JSONL to 4.0 GB per second
A deep dive into the SIMD bitmasking and async IO tricks that make zog saturate NVMe drives.
