I had fun re-implementing antirez's "kilo" editor

There's a nice tutorial for it

Great way to learn more about terminal modes and write some raw C

Nice! I too was intrigued by his unusual name, and went on a quest to see if he had it changed from the more common "Paul Swanson".

It's a very interesting choice to just swap the letters like that instead of going for a completely different name.

It would be funny if his name gets included in a crossword puzzle, and people second guess the spelling.

I want this for annotating drone footage that our customers post to YT so that I can have slack conversations with support and engineering more precisely.

I started writing about my own experiences with boredom at work, and it evolved into a blog post. I'll spare you the details.

My advice for you: just apply to other companies anyway and wait for an offer that excites you.

The worst thing that will happen is you'll get rejected and the particular interviewers will think less of you. You can always re-apply later.

Meanwhile, start watching Google Tech Talks during your spare work hours and tell your boss's boss that you'd like a challenge.
