Dayvi Schuster's blog at dayvster.com. Practical write-ups on systems programming, memory management, and the modern post-C language landscape. Strong opinions held loudly — explicit pro-Zig, pro-Odin, pro-C++ revisionist takes, and an explicitly anti-Rust position that recurs across posts (Cloudflare outage cited as evidence Rust hasn't delivered).

Style is conversational with extended (and willingly bad) analogies — the manual-memory piece runs the book-lending metaphor through every failure mode. Useful as accessible primers; reading should be paired with more sober treatments when the topic matters.
