🚀🎨 Oh, joy! Another thousand-page tome promising to make embedded Rust dev on ESP devices as easy as pie. 🙄 Instead, buckle up for a nauseating expedition through keyboard shortcuts and a "software stack" so riveting, you'll be snoozing before you can press 'Esc' for help. 📚💤

🐢📚 Ah yes, another *thrilling* saga of a programmer discovering #Rust and thinking they're the first to write a book ending with a #Redis #clone. Because what the world truly needed was yet another field guide to Rust... with a twist! 🙄📘

#WritersCoffeeClub 6/22. Walk us through how you build a story.
I read the data sheet.
I imagine I understand it.
I write some code to test my understanding.
I read the data sheet again; the code didn't work as expected!
I modify my understanding.
I modify my code.
Repeat until it works.
I take notes to explain to future me what the data sheet said and what reality had to say about it!
Repeat for other features of the microcontroller.
Collect notes and massage into a book.

Ah yes, Ted Nyman's epic tome on #Git, where he takes the perfectly simple version-control tool and transforms it into a convoluted soup of jargon, 🚀 complete with unnecessary deep dives into filesystem and graph theory 📚. Git isn't just for version control, it's your next overachieving career path! 🌟

Oh joy, a new tome on #FreeBSD, because the world definitely needed another monument to #Unix #esoterica 📚🔍. Surely this will shake the foundations of #computing as much as every other tech manual collecting dust on the shelf 🤦♂️💤.

Finished reading Metaprogramming Ruby 2, what a cool book and what nice vibes it has. I've learned some metaprogramming spells that apply to Ruby and a bit of rails history.

AI-Generated Books, Forth & Pharo, and Why I'm Back with Common Lisp
A notebook-style essay about stumbling upon AI-generated tech books (HiTeX Press, "Robert Johnson"), the realization that beautiful design doesn't equal working code, and the journey through Smalltalk chaos to the quiet stability of Common Lisp.
Includes thoughts on:
- The "end of the internet age"
- Why I avoid publicly traded companies
- AI in music, photography, and content moderation
- Why a REPL beats bouncing windowsFake books → real lessons → building my own tools with CLOS and CLOG.
Read here in German:
