    By all means, prompt AI. But don't just relay the output. Read it, understand it, validate it, and then write a response in your own words (a decent certificate that you've done the prior steps). Making that effort is value you can add.

  2. Swift for Rustaceans - Borrow Checker

    I like learning new programming languages and it has been a few years since I learned a new one. Recently I have become interested in Swift. Swift got on my radar when I saw the One Billion Row Challenge (1BRC) video on the NSScreencast. I had thought about Swift as a language for iOS applications. I didn't realize that it could be used for server or CLI applications. The 1BRC video got me thinking about how Swift compared to Rust.
