OneThingWell.dev | Small and simple is beautiful
Modern software development is beyond broken. Popular practices of resume-driven development, cargo-cult programming, and piling layers upon layers of failed abstractions are only making matters worse.
OneThingWell.dev is a digital garden (a custom wiki/blog combination) on these and various other software development issues. Simplicity is a prerequisite for reliability.

"I always thought of race conditions as corrupting the data or deadlocking. I never though it could cause performance issues. But it makes sense, you could corrupt the data in a way that creates an infinite loop."
"This engine was built to service a project that aimed to demonstrate why Doom can't run in TypeScript types. Well. The funny thing is.. It can."
