Textbook example of this
I ported the Omarchy screensaver engine (ttfx) from Rust to x86-64 assembler, and it's up to 17x faster!! One-shot translation by Opus 5.5. We keep drilling until the agentic drill bit hits bedrock! github.com/omacom/ttfx/pull/…

I'm available.
Yep. Like so many others, I was a casualty of the "reduction in force" that Redis executed a couple of weeks ago. We just call them "layoffs" where I come from, but language is gonna inflate. George Carlin would be proud.
I'm not angry, although I was a bit shell-shocked when it happened. This is the first time in my career that I have been let go for any reason. It's been a new experience for me and has taken some time to process. It shattered an illusion of certainty that I had—that the job would only end when I left it and the paychecks would always come. Of course, I always knew logically this was false, but things aren't really real until they are.
I'm glad to have had this illusion shattered. I think this is called "growth".
And this shattering has led to an epiphany. I've spent my entire career as an employee. Beholden to companies big and small to help make their lines go up. Coding and speaking and teaching in exchange for a salary to pay for the mortgage and the bills and a retirement.
I have been very blessed, and I am very grateful. I have a retirement account and an iPhone and a place to call home. I love the coding and speaking and teaching that have funded these wonderful things. I love to help people in their efforts to make their lines go up.
But I've always wanted to work for myself. To help people more directly. So I'm gonna give it a shot. I'm going independent. Perhaps you need some help?
I can help you build applications—AI-powered or not. I can reach, teach, and engage developer communities and get your solution in front of them. I can embed with your teams and teach them AI-assisted development and Agile engineering practices like TDD and pair programming. And if you're thinking about using Redis, I can help with that too.
I'm available. Connect with me here on X, send a message, or check out my website at guy.dev.

We're releasing ZML/LLMD, our homegrown LLM server built on top of our homegrown high performance heterogeneous inference stack.
It ships with 5 architectures out of the box: NVIDIA, AMD, Metal, Intel and TPU. All transparent.
It supports DFlash, continuous batching, prefix caching, the whole deal.
Oh, and it's fast.

My family is donating another $400,000 to the Zig Software Foundation. Zig is exceptional software. I use AI every day. Zig has one of the strongest anti-AI policies in open source. We disagree on some things, but respect doesn’t require agreement. mitchellh.com/writing/zig-do…

Sometimes I run out of steam, sometimes I go down the wrong path, and some other times I deliberately take detours, but nobody can trick me into mistaking lesser stars for my true destination.
