Hi there,
I'm Moustapha

I’m starting a new series exploring interesting algorithms by building them from scratch. First up is distributed consensus, where the goal is to look past the abstract theory and focus entirely on how it actually works under the hood. This post serves as a practical primer for the upcoming posts to ensure we're aligned on the foundational concepts.

Ever since I started my first job, I've been told, like many others, that speed is the key to success. I want to question the status quo in this post and share my opinions and learnings from shipping products.

After a year with neovim and tmux, coding feels fun again. Here's why I switched from VSCode to terminal-based tools and how it transformed my workflow.
