Rewriting a Python web log parser in Go
I rewrote a Python web log parser as a Go HTTP service using Factory mission mode. On 1.89 million lines of real NASA access logs, the Go version parses 3.3x faster than the Python baseline. The whole thing -- service, tests, benchmark harness -- was built in one orchestrated mission.
Rewriting xxHash in Rust
A clean-room Rust reimplementation of xxHash: bit-exact parity across all four variants, NEON-accelerated XXH3, and comparable CLI-level throughput to the C reference on Apple Silicon.
Rewriting the Silver Searcher in Rust
A historical rewrite study of a Rust rewrite of ag: the first benchmark pass showed roughly 2× faster median runtime than ag on one measured workload, but still behind rg and ugrep.
Building Optimus in Public
Why I built an autonomous homelab SRE, how it works under the hood, and what I learned from real incidents.
