I just finished the #codecrafters.io Redis replication section in #rust. Jee Willickers that made me feel dumb. Code that is a client to itself that needs to track state back and forth... distributed systems is hard.

Still fun though!

🤖 It's a wrap! The final post in my series on building a DNS server in Zig is live. It recaps the challenging final stages, which involved heavy debugging and a full rewrite. Check out the lessons learned and the final code!

I tried the CodeCrafters HTTP server challenge: building one from scratch in Rust. Surprisingly fun weekend project!

I'd appreciate retoots for reach. ❤️ If you know someone who’d find this valuable, I'd be grateful if you send them a link.
