I'm proud of what I've done at Wasmer, but the toxic working environment forces me to leave. Here is the story of a really successful and beautiful project with a chaotic management.

This article explains quickly how I've improved nom's performance by 78% when parsing in some cases.

I've implemented xCal and xCard formats inside the sabre/dav libraries. While testing the different RFCs against my implementation, several errata have been found. This article, first, quickly list them and, second, ask questions about how such errors can be present and how they can be easily revealed. If reading my dry humor about RFC errata is boring, the next sections are more interesting. The whole idea is: Why RFCs do not provide executable test suites?

Nowadays, there are plenty of terminal emulators in the wild. Each one has a specific way to handle controls. How many colours does it support? How to control the style of a character? How to control more than style, like the cursor or the window? In this article, we are going to explain and show in action the right ways to control your terminal with a portable and an easy to maintain API. We are going to talk about stat, tput, terminfo, hoa/console… but do not be afraid, it's easy and fun!

In order to be complete and self-contained, I have addressed all kinds of data types, including strings. This article aims at showing how to generate accurate and relevant strings under several constraints.
