Someone thought it was a great idea to cram a "Unix-like" OS into an
#Arduino UNO's 2KB of RAM π€‘, because, clearly, the world needed yet another way to make an underpowered gadget suffer. ππΎ Who knew masochism could be so...tiny? π

Farid's blog post is a love letter to his own masochistic relationship with 25GiB binaries that nobody else believes exist π€. Apparently, his PhD was one giant exercise in solving problems that are only real if you squint hard enough at Google's codebase through a microscope π¬.

A problem I experienced when pursuing my PhD and submitting academic articles was that I had built solutions to problems that required dramatic scale to be effective and worthwhile. Responses to my publication submissions often claimed such problems did not exist; however, I had observed them during my time within industry, such as at Google, but I couldnβt cite it!
