i often get the urge to do something unnecessarily complicated but technically impressive/fun. for a side project that’s great, for actual work that’s wasting everyone’s time. just gotta admit this to my self sometimes

its crazy we had the atomic bomb before the simple calculator

maybe it’s not about whether we’re over/under populated and more about how much net negative/positive each person is

similarly, maybe it’s not about whether we are using too many/little abstractions and more about whether the abstractions are necessary and accurately reflect the thing we’re abstracting over

my name is arena allocator

saw a video

gave me an idea for side project

start looking into it

find someone else who's done something similar

they have a sick demo in the browser

click on their website

the dude is the co-founder of figma and created esbuild

just an average day on the internet

i’m trying to tame complexity but complexity is taming me
