Had a gig wrap up a little earlier than expected, I should have availability starting July or so. As always: if you need help with Embedded, Rust, or similar things, shoot me a message! If you're a user of postcard, p-rpc, or are interested in the more experimental new ergot: shoot me a message!

Building a Debugger is now officially released! It guides you through building a whole native x64 debugger from scratch, dispelling all the magic and teaching you a ton about operating systems as it goes. Even if you don't care about building a debugger, you can read it to your cat.

this weekend I’m traveling up to Queensland with my bike to cycle for charity in the Brissie to the Bay ride 🚴‍♀️ I’d love to reach my goal of raising $500 and I’m pretty close! If you can spare a few dollars I’d be really appreciative ❤️ www.brissietothebay.com.au/fundraisers/...
