Earlier this year I added fuzzing support to the Stellar Soroban SDK, and the tutorial I wrote for it is now live: soroban.stellar.org/docs/adv…

Published a new blog post about my recent work on an LLVM backend for Move: brson.github.io/2023/03/12/m…

I wrote my first Max 4 Live device today, for gain staging. It took only 2 hours to learn how to do and I feel like a boss.

I have anxiety every time a new GitHub bug report hits my inbox. And sometimes they just sit there for months and I can't look at them and the anxiety doesn't stop.

Please never submit PRs that blindly run clippy to any of my Rust projects.

I tried out the move language and was impressed with the maturity of the compiler, and thought the constraints on the language looked fun: brson.github.io/2022/09/21/m…

Lao gan ma (老干妈) mashed potatoes, one of my favorite treats.

I started writing a new blog post today (about zero-knowledge programming). I'll finish it in two years. Or more likely never.

I am learning to use a trackball with my left hand. The right hand hurts too much lately. I would very much like my hands to work for another 20 years.

I did the recent Internet Computer hackathon and wrote about my experience: brson.github.io/2022/06/26/m…

In Fort Collins we walked through 3 nature reserves and 3 city parks on the way home from lunch. Pleasant.

Feeling content lately. I hope it lasts a while.

I am though creating dozens of new filters every day to automatically archive promotional garbage. I hope the rate of garbage in my inbox slows.

I am satisfied every time I see my new empty email inbox. I feel more in control of my life than I ever have before.

After creating a new fastmail account and experiencing the relief of inbox zero for the first time in perhaps a decade, I confronted my gmail inbox and archived 49k messages. I am hopeful this will noticeably reduce my overall anxiety levels.

I have learned a lot about cooking and usually I cook well but some nights I ruin every single dish.

I put together a list of all Rust core team alumni, along with some history of the formation of the core team. brson.github.io/2022/02/09/r…

My partner and I have stayed in 32 AirBnbs in two years. It's been fun.
