Bite-sized programming concepts with interactive challenges in repl.it

Why? because it's just so hard to learn a concept by merely reading a blog post without implementing a basic version it yourself.
I believe I’m victim to whatever is the opposite of a niche effect. My posts tend to be deeply technical but span hardware, software, security, .NET, rust, C++, Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and more so I never really got the opportunity to pick up readers in one, single niche or domain.
I miss the old days.
It's awesome because of the range of topics- from computer generated poetry to developing a camera for watching my chickens peck each other. You're certain to find something to enjoy and hopefully turn your brain onto something new :) Popular posts are:
- making an AI play piano like me
- making an AI paint like me
- rejected New Yorker cartoons
- posts about my Go programs and tips
Thanks for the great thread.
Lateral thinking and logic puzzles.
Segmented by difficulty.
If the answer is numerical, you can check to see if you are right before reading the solution.
Mostly a small collection of posts about programming and personal finance. Also been running for around fifteen years.
Most popular post is about currency arbitrage, which seems to have had a small resurgence in interest as of late from various crypto folks: https://www.kelvinjiang.com/2010/10/currency-arbitrage-in-99...
Side note: not sure if it's just a funny coincidence, but it seems like a good number of folks here have been running their sites for around fifteen years. Perhaps the timing just happens to match the typical career arc of software professionals, or maybe it was due to the popularity of blogging fifteen years ago.

I started daily blogging around 5 months ago. I didn't set any restrictions regarding the topics, it could be about anything.
So why is that awesome and why should you read it?
What's most interesting to me is that I wrote about topics I didn't thought about, that I would write something about it. So lets see how this will evolve. So far I just like the everyday challenge of writing down something I thought about recently and share it.
So everyday will be a surprise post about any topic. I think this is even for myself the most interesting part of this blog.
I have been writing this blog for a bout a year now. About half of the articles I've written are about cryptography, the others are about software engineering and conferences I've attended.
A couple articles I'm proud of:
* The dangers of AES-CBC: https://alicegg.tech/2019/06/23/aes-cbc.html
* Low Tech Crypto - Solitaire: https://alicegg.tech/2020/01/03/solitaire.html
* BDD in Golang: https://alicegg.tech/2019/03/09/gobdd.html
