🚀🎉 Welcome to the "future" of email, where we proudly reinvent the wheel by shuffling menu items and reminding you we exist. 🥳 Because apparently, "move from Gmail" and "download our app" are the groundbreaking innovations we've all been waiting for. 🙄📧

As AI starts reading and actioning our inboxes, email authentication becomes the trust layer that the future of email depends on.

🎨 Wow, a graphics guy spent four months crafting a "Tiny Shading Language" for his offline renderer—because who doesn't love reinventing the wheel on their days off? 🚀 And surprise, surprise, he admits he didn't even understand #compilers when he started! 🙃 #ReinventingTheWheel #GraphicsProbs

I made a shading language for my ray tracer last year. This blog has some notes of my thoughts in my shading language system design.

If only Mother Nature had invented something that captures sunlight, and stores energy, all the while being lightweight...

🤦‍♂️ Ah yes, the tale of a hobbyist who thought they could reinvent the wheel... by making it square. 🛑✨ After six years of chasing the dream of submillisecond #timekeeping with the finesse of a drunkard with a sundial, our hero has finally admitted defeat. 📉🚫

Fake GPS module using NTP over WiFi

Hab mir mit paar Freunden angefangen was selber zu bauen 🙈

Alle Kisten und Boxen haben NFC Tags und ein Handscanner redet via WiFi mit der Webanwendung und sagt dir was das ists und wo das hinkommt.

Es ist zwar vollkommen overengineered aber immerhin ist es auch noch nicht fertig!

🐍 Susam's rant on web design practices is like telling a toddler not to play with scissors. 💅 Just like in #cryptography, the advice is to not 'roll your own,' because, apparently, reinventing the wheel is so 2025. 🚀 But hey, why stop developers from creating their own personal brand of chaos? 🎨

🔧🤖 Ah, what a noble quest: #coding a web server in #aarch64 #assembly to fill the existential void left by modern conveniences. Because, clearly, the best way to achieve enlightenment is by manually handling #syscalls and discarding decades of progress. 🌐🚀 Enjoy reinventing the wheel, one byte at a time!

🤦‍♂️ Oh, look! Someone decided to revive the 1980s by writing a web server in #ARM64 assembly—because obviously, the world was clamoring for that. 🙄 Instead of using anything remotely practical like #Nginx, let's waste time reinventing the wheel with raw syscalls, because, why not? 🚀

🚨 Oh no, OpenAI's in trouble with WebRTC! 😱 Apparently, rewriting everything in #Rust is the only way to prove you're a real engineer. 🙄 Because clearly, the solution to every problem is to reinvent the wheel—preferably in a more obscure language. 🚀

Oh, bravo! 🙄 Another developer decides to reinvent the wheel with yet another open-source email builder. Because, clearly, we don't have enough half-baked #alternatives to Beefree/Unlayer cluttering #GitHub. 🚀 Next up: an open-source coffee mug alternative.💡
