How to Network as an Introvert 05 Jul, 2025 Why I am writing this? Sometimes I’d leave an event unsure if I connected with anyone—or if anyone noticed I was there. I’d show up, blend in, talk just enough, smile just enough, and then disappear. The next morning, I’d wonder if anyone even remembered I was there. This is what often happens to introverts trying to network . It’s not that we lack social skills. It’s that we’re playing the game without a system that fits our wiring. I’m writing t

Rust and WASM for Form Validation

In recent years, Rust and WebAssembly have become much more usable for pure backend-style engineers. When I say “pure backend-style”, I mean people who never wrapped their heads around React, SPAs, and all that stuff. This, unsurprisingly, includes me. For a very long time, in order to use WASM you were strongly guided towards using Webpack and a whole array of Node-related tools in order to just get started.
