Things I've found interesting...

Pagefind

Not used this yet, but it's an amazing library that implements fully static search for your website; no servers or API calls required! Perfect for reducing bandwidth and reducing search times. Pagefind and Eleventy are definitely a match made in heaven.

How 2004 RuneScape fit a multiplayer RPG into 56k dial-up

Us developers take precious bandwidth and compute for granted. Jame's break down of RuneScape's incredible networking optimisation is so enlightening; it really shows what creativity we're capable of when we're limited by the constraints of bandwidth! It definitely inspires me to do more on my journey of creating the most efficient and maintainable code possible.

Limited output is a feature

Love this post. Johanna is right: you never beat the big guys by quantity of output alone. Its about intentional, well thought out design choices in collaborative, multidisciplinary teams! This is something that AI cannot replace or be used as a substitute for.

Learning is Cool

Great video from The PrimeTime about how SIMD works. An amazing (and very efficient) method of quickly traversing through data using vectors to find a match (among many other uses). Hoping to learn more soon and make my own solution with it!
