Welcome to my personal space.
I write about various topics I'm interested about, often related to programming.
Old Tom Bombadil was a merry fellow,
Bright blue his jacket was, and his boots were yellow.

I recently encountered a puzzling issue: zig build worked perfectly, but make build failed with "Permission denied". What followed was an interesting debugging session that uncovered a quirky interaction between GNU Make's PATH search and directory structures.
This article documents the investigation process and some debugging techniques that proved useful along the way.
I've been exploring the m8 Dirtywave tracker for a few months now, and it's been a fascinating experience. If you're not familiar with it, the m8 is a portable music sequencer built on the Teensy platform that combines a minimal 8-button interface with a powerful tabular workflow. What makes it special isn't just its portability or its sound capabilities, but how the hardware and interface work together to create an experience that's simultaneously constrained and liberating.
Still a work in progress. Coming soon!
