This is built with Lovable.dev, it would have cost you a lot less caffeine without that

You're right, but for https://r00m101.com backend I needed a lot caffeine

i am not a JavaScript programmer, but can someone explain exactly what bun does ? does it compile JavaScript and target a backend like LLVM equivalent for the browser ?

> what bun does ?

It installs npm packages, it executes JS and TS code, it bundles code for front end, it runs tests. Plus it has a lot of random pieces related to this development, like integrated database access.

Compare it to node, npm, webpack, and jest, all in one, and whatever the guy dreams of. It's certainly fast and offers great DX, but I wouldn't bet on it to stay around for, say, 5 years.

It doesn't really do anything for the browser. It provides a really fast runtime for JS to run in a server, a stdlib for http, crypto, and filesystem (among others) that JS lacks, a bundler for JS projects to go to a browser and a compiler for typescript to JS, among a few other things.

Bun is a build tool and code runner primarily. It can run a tsx or js file, and it can do bundling or the compilation of TypeScript into regular JS. It also manages packages and can run tests. It aims (I think) to be a node compatible replacement for node.

I agree with this statement, most YouTube channels are incentivized to keep repeating the same trivial information like how to compose prompts etc

Completely agree in general, but his are not that. Yes he talks about recent stuff but it’s very considered and not attention or influence seeking IMO

I also like Matthew Bermans rundown on the latest AI news https://youtube.com/@matthew_berman?si=5VvVSfQ-hsT6DHSM

you should checkout AvalonuiaUI[0] or unoPlatform[1] if wanting to target web/mobile/window/linux/macOS

if building for the web online, asp.net core runs on Linux servers as well as windows

and there's MAUI [2] ( not a fan of this), you are better-off with with the others.

in summary c# and .NET is cross-platform, third party developers build better frameworks and tools for other platform while Microsoft prefers to develop for Microsoft ecosystem, if you get

I will say MS has been obsessed with trying to take a slice of the mobile pie.

However their Xamarin/WPF stuff left so much to be desired and was such a Jenga Tower that I totally get the community direction to go with a framework you have ostensibly have more control over vs learning that certain WPF elements are causes of e.g. memory leaks...

I second this, could some also add C#'s "Spectre.Console" https://github.com/spectreconsole/spectre.console

I found it but great in handling interactivity compared to https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui

congrats op, would you mind sharing the techstack used in creating this

You can find infos about the tech stack in the FAQ: https://pikimov.com/faq

Do you have any recommendations to learn CPUs and Systems well ?, thanks

The Patterson Hennessy computer architecture textbook is the classic and still the best IMO.

Not the GP, but I recommend reading (or watching lectures based on) the book “Computer Systems: A Programer’s Perspective.”

Onur Mutlu puts his computer architecture lectures on youtube, their really good.

not sure if this is what you have in mind but Code by Charles Petzold might be worth checking out
