I enjoy writing. I realize now that the biggest reason I blog is that I enjoy the writing process. I can’t put my finger on why, I just generally like it. This isn’t always true though and I’ve had years where I’ve barely written anything at all (2022 for example). Sometimes I’ve had to force myself to write something. I guess the motivation ebbs and flows sometimes. Writing helps me think more clearly and helps me flesh out ideas.

I mentioned nvim-treesitter-textobjects as a good example of why Tree-sitter is about more than syntax highlighting. To make use of our grammar we can add some capture groups to src/textobjects.scm. For example we can register our code blocks as “functions”:(code_block (code) @function.inner) @function.outerThe objects are arbitrary, but @function is one of the standard objects so I guess it might make sense.

This series documents my journey building my very first 3D printer: a VORON Trident 250. I’m not a 3D printer expert—in fact I’m a complete beginner and I’ve never even held a 3D printed part in my hand before—so don’t expect any deep insights from this series. Instead I’ll try to document my progress, write about problems I encounter, contain lots of pictures, and will hopefully end with an awesome printer.

My brain is a curious thing. I’m on a business trip right now and I’ve set aside time to finish some important todos I want and need to get done. But instead of focusing on them, I started playing around with Gleam—a young and interesting programming language. My (current) favorite programming languages are Rust and Elixir.

The T-34 keyboard layout This is part 5 of the The T-34 keyboard layout series. See this post for a full reference of how the layout looks at the moment. Almost two and a half years ago I embarked on the journey to change keyboard layout. At first I tried out existing ones, but it didn’t take long before I figured it’s better to develop my own—and things went downhill fast from there.
