As part of my design course requirements at Rice University, I will be creating a game in a group of 4 (and more!) using the Godot engine over the upcoming semester. This blog post will serve as a progress log for the game's development and hopefully provide some good insights into the game development process from someone who has never made a game before.
Over the summer, after finally getting around to learning Vim motions (see blog post #9), I quickly fell down the Neovim rabbithole and have been procrastinating work by tinkering away at my configurations ever since! This post will be sharing setup that I have currently landed at to turn my Neovim editor into a supercharged workhorse.
I love databases, but they are still largely a magical black box to me, so in this post, I'm going to explore how SQLite's query optimizer works. We'll delve together into the process of how SQL queries are parsed, optimized, and executed, with a particular focus on the optimization phase. By the end of this post, you'll have a better understanding of how SQLite's query optimizer works and how it can help you write more efficient queries.
The vimtutor program is the essential starting point for anyone looking to learn
the basics of using Vim. In as little as a half hour, you can learn 90% of what
you'll ever need for vim, however, there are many useful motions and commands
that are left out of the program. This article details the simple software
package I wrote to address this limitation, vimtutor-sequel.
No doubt you've heard it before: "AI will make programmers obsolete" or "AI will take your job." But is this narrative accurate? News stories like Cognition AI's Devin, albeit found to be categorically a hoax, have nonetheless fueled fears among software professionals about the future of their careers. However, the most current look at the state of AI in software development suggests a more nuanced and hopeful future.
