Pas moi mais c'est un poste de développeur à Paris pour écrire du bas niveau en

Apparemment, il faut un compte Twitter pour répondre "Do you want to write NVIDIA and AMD kernels? In Zig? In beautiful Paris?"

    using API from code, and it's soo much nicer than its original . Function arguments (that are usually cryptically named integers) can be easily understood just by browsing their type definitions. Pointers are much more specific. Thanks Johnatan Marler for the zigwin32 bindings!

      It's been only four weeks and I really love using mise-en-place by @jdx@fosstodon.org So far I've used it for (chronologically):

      - switching between versions, I liked it more than the dedicated anyzig
      - venv activation – it's silly but feels so good, and collaborates with uv
      - ensuring I have the right language server and formatter for a project, be it , , and trying out various options for Python
      - setting LANG="C.UTF-8" only in the specific project folder because refused to work with Polish...

      The final boss was getting a really comfortable Tree-sitter setup: get the CLI, write grammar in , re-generate and run tests on source change as a mise Task. And then I only cloned the repo on another machine and was ready to go!

      This post was written as a more cultured outlet for my excitement instead of aggresively committing mise.toml into every repository I touch

        Bad npm and make, no sudo install for you two. And leave my /usr/local alone!

        It was the talk "How to Build Software From Source" from @andrewrk@mastodon.social where someone taught me what build prefix is. I think that's an example of why hanging around language is so beneficial – it also taught me a lot more about building C and libc than any other tool. Many layers of dirt and rust (pun intended) are washed away and you see the basic systems that were under there all the time.
