    For me its 2 things. Firstly, I mean the posts are always a fun read but it feels like just that, not much deeper insight. Secondly, its very self promotion-y. This account is almo…

    I once dropped my phone like 40cm the 100th time and my screen went completely black. However, the touch still worked! After loads of time and comparing to another android phone, i…

    Love Pratt parsing! Not a compiler guy, but I've spent way too many hours reflecting on parsing. I remember trying to get though the dragon book so many times and reading all about…
