A personal blog on database internals and systems design, with long-form deep dives such as predicate pushdown in columnar storage and a from-scratch quad-based storage engine. The writing is technical and explains mechanisms with worked examples and a clear design perspective.
Each issue presents a hands-on programming project, such as building your own version of tail, a Bluetooth proximity finder, or an MCP code context server, with a description of the goals and what you will learn. Readers get project ideas and step-by-step challenge specs for practising systems and software skills.
A personal Rust developer blog covering low-level systems topics such as SIMD integer compression, database durability and fsync pitfalls, and critiques of tooling vendors. Readers get technical deep dives plus opinionated commentary on the Rust ecosystem.
