We need more work like this. Optimization is becoming a lost art. We need to make our systems more efficient. Reducing the power consumption of the Linux network stack by up to 30% is a huge improvement. https://spectrum.ieee.org/data-center-energy-consumption

A huge win for the Python ecosystem. 2.5 years of work to provide verified cryptographic code in Python. Best part, users do nothing, they just benefit from the changes. No changes to apps required! https://jonathan.protzenko.fr/2025/04/18/python.html

I remember learning Git around 2009 from Scott Chacon to replace Oakley's SVN setup. It has served me incredibly well ever since. I still can't believe there was a time when I used CVS and SVN. https://blog.gitbutler.com/20-years-of-git/
