As [showcased](https://ziggit.dev/t/dabeob-a-simple-tui-lib-for-zig/18166) I got my personal tui lib to a usable state. And now I adapt my tui file manager to use this tui lib instead of the external dep I used beforehand. ---

I’m trying to find a way to use Zig in a company. also, I like how these posts are becoming a linked list ---

In order to learn Zig I’ve been building out a rendition of Lehman and Yao’s B-Tree: [https://db.cs.cmu.edu/papers/1981/lehman-tods1981.pdf](https://db.cs.cmu.edu/papers/1981/lehman-tods1981.pdf) ---

Step 1 : find a company Step 2 : find a problem nobody seems willing to tackle Step 3 : tackle said problem with zig, but don’t tell anybody just yet. Congratulations, you are now using zig in a company. Step 4 : unweil the thing. It’s so cleverly designed and brutally efficient everybody instantly recognise how superior zig is and you get huge promotion and employee of the year badge. Steps 1-3 went well so far for me. Still working on step 4… ---

I’m just an intern. I can choose whatever stack I want, I would love to use dusty but the only problem is maintainability! there is no one who knows Zig in the company (the only webdevs are 2 interns) I would like to tell the (idk what he’s called in English) but he’s too busy and I hate bothering people > [@yinameah](#): > > Steps 1-3 went well so far for me. Still working on step 4… hmmmm, it would be better to have some people with interest in Zig so the reveal leads to “yeah, I think it’s time to finally learn Zig” for me, the goal is to just use Zig in a day job, debugging other languages is annoying (they throw their bugs at me, they do things behind my back, a crocodile looks like a duck…). so If I could just be the one maintaining the app I wouldn’t really care about what others use, maybe having someone to maintain it after me so no one tells me to rewrite it in python ---

Should we make them doubly linked? Will help with traversal and give constant time removal semantics if we find out we didn’t like August for some reason ---

ah, Engineers doing what engineers do (optimization). anyways, the [26 talks post](https://ziggit.dev/t/software-you-can-love-26-talks/17942) is my preferred way; a big fat buffer. with every post linking to the same original which contains links to all the monthly posts ---

Discourse automatically turns it into a doubly linked list, because if you link to a post it adds a back-link from the linked post, also we have the #wewo tag for these topics, which seems more practical to me than trashing my brain cache with following a bunch of pointers 😉 . ---

I’m working on my custom discord wayland overlay (with vulkan). It is already usable, but I still have lot of things to implement or polish.
