This week, I’m deep in two very different rabbit holes: data structures and leadership.
On the tech side, I’m drafting my first post on funnel hashing:
“Beating the Bound — Without Reordering”
It’s about smarter insertions in open addressing. No reordering. No gimmicks. Just sub-log probe counts with a 2D probe strategy.
The Rust implementation is in the works — ElasticHashTable, multiple subarrays, and a clean (i, j) probe sequence.
On the human side, I’m sketching a piece on leadership:
“Leadership Without the Handbrake”
It’s about the kind of tech leads and principals who enable trust, not tighten screws. Think: less control, more amplification.
Pulling in bits from Ian Rogers, Ryan & Deci, and a few lived lessons along the way.
Still running the T480 with TPM-backed LUKS and UKI boot — and following the Nix learning curve one confident step at a time. Solid setup.
Also re-reading Out of the Tar Pit by Ben Moseley and Peter Marks.
It’s a reminder of how complexity sneaks in through state, code structure, and the illusion of control.
