Learning Zig part 2
Here is my second entry in my "learning Zig" series. Likely the final.
I feel I have seen enough syntax and am ready to build something.
For my first post on this topic, see here.
Code
Playing Rogue with LLMs
Ever wonder if LLMs can play Rogue? I sure did!
It seems like a match made in heaven. Fully text based game meets text enjoying model. In this post, I detail a little bit about putting together a little package to make this possible.
Don't get your hope up though. I don't do any long running benchmarks.

Learning Zig part 1
As promised in my project goals for 2026, I'm trying to learn Zig.
The first step here has been going through the Introduction to Zig book.
I paused my (slow) progress to reflect on the first 4 chapters of the book and Zig as a language.
Ibis compatibility checker
I'm a fan of the Ibis framework. To me, dataFrame APIs feel great and leaving pure Python to write a SQL query in a nasty triple-quoted string does not.
In this post, I motivate and give a proof of concept for an Ibis "compatibility checker" where, given an Ibis expression, the checker will tell you which backends it can be run on.
This post isn't meant to sell Ibis, just motivate why I think it could be useful for a specific set of people.

The Pybrary of Babel
This post is an exploration into the Library of Babel. Specifically, trying to get an idea of how many readable pages of books there are. I used "runnable Python program" as a proxy for readability.
In this post, there are slight spoilers for the novella A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck. So, buyer beware.
