I'd like to try libripgrep out in one my projects, maybe I could also take on the challenge of attempting to document it.

phiresky does this use libripgrep under the hood?

Or do you shell out to the ripgrep binary?

Oh behave! Not getting a job at DBC does not mean you can now start spreading bad rumours about Shereef Bishay. The fact that you're using a throwaway account speaks volumes.

Adam89··on I'm Begging for Work
Unfortunately you've just met a sociopath, I hope things workout for you, if not reply back to me on here and I'll try to onboard you to a remote ruby contract that I just landed. Even though this contract would help me, I don't mind giving it to you and helping you get used to the work.

Your BOSS sounds like a complete and utter douche bag and this experience may turn out to be a great lesson.

Adam89··on The Case for Slow Programming
I really like that analogy but am not sure if that's what the author was alluding to.

Besides the one thing I strongly disagree with is how typing slow can help you produce better software.

Taking time and thinking about your design certainly does help but typing slowly and taking your time designing are not the same thing.

Adam89··on The Case for Slow Programming
How does typing speed affect the design of software?

Thinking about your design has not got a lot to do with the speed you type at.

Secondly as programmers we should be able to work on the same code base.

Adam89··on Facebook vulnerability 2013
In all honesty I think you guys are being extremely harsh with a man that has pointed a huge problem on your website. He has done Facebook a huge favour and instead of paying him, you have the nerve to refer to a TOS not written in his first language as an excuse. This will lead to bad publicity for a multi million dollar company like yourselves. The man looks really poor and if he wanted to he could have made a lot of money selling that exploit to spammers. However he decided to do the ethically right thing, only to be stabbed in the back by Facebook. I cannot believe that a company of your size and magnitude would stoop so low, its pathetic!!!! Just on that basis I will boycott Facebook as your organisation seems to have lost all of its good morals!!!!!
