We lost a titan of programming languages, programming methodology, software engineering and hardware design. Niklaus Wirth passed away on the first of January. We mourn a pioneer, colleague, mentor and friend.

'Once the FFT method was established it became clear that it had a long an interesting prehistory going back as far as Gauss. But until the advent of computing machines it was a solution looking for a problem.' -- T. W. Korner

I'm currently optimizing lexy's JSON parser example. I've now reached a point where it is 12000% faster than all other JSON libraries. The trick is to consider all characters whitespace and skip them...

💁‍♂️ Open source tip: When someone reports a bug and you think “oh I can fix that in a few minutes”, consider helping them learn how to fix it themselves instead (if they are interested). I’m trying to get better at this lately and it’s hard but rewarding! 🤓👍

Thank you @stevekrenzel for sharing this story. Your thread is an important lesson in ethics for all fields and employers. After reading this I feel more confident in standing by what's right in the face of corporate pressure if I ever need to.
Replying to @stevekrenzel
And, for the any employees still at Twitter, don’t underestimate the power of a pocket veto. Sometimes it doesn’t work out, or you have to escalate and risk it back firing, but a good pocket veto is a tool to learn to wield well.

I wound up meeting with a Director who came in huffing and puffing. The Director said “We should know when users leave their house, their commute to work, and everywhere they go throughout the day. Anything less is useless. We get a lot more than that from other tech companies.”
