A debugger for Linux. Partially inspired by RemedyBG. Mom, can we have RAD Debugger on Linux? No, we have a debugger at home. Debugger at home: Properties: Fast. TUI. Not based on gdb or lldb, implemented mostly from scratch. Works on large executables. (Tested mostly on 2.5 GB ClickHouse.) What we mean by "fast": Operations that can be instantaneous should be instantaneous. I.e. snappy UI, no random freezes, no long waits. (Known exception: if the program has >~2k threads things become

Despite Apple reversing its stance on console emulators in the App Store a year ago, GameCube and Wii emulators have largely remained absent from the iPhone and iPad — until now, perhaps. The team behind DolphiniOS previously explained that Apple’s restrictions on apps using just-in-time (JIT) compilation made it virtually impossible to run GameCube and Wii titles on iOS. Fast forward a year, and an app called StikDebug launched on the AltStore in Europe, where Apple is required to permit thir

This series has been expanded into a book! It covers many more topics in much greater detail. You can now pre-order Building a Debugger. Debuggers are one of the most valuable tools in any developer’s kit. However, although these tools are in such widespread use, there aren’t a lot of resources which tell you how they work and how to write one, especially when compared to other toolchain technologies like compilers. In this post series we’ll learn what makes debuggers tick and write one for deb

In context: Some industry experts boldly claim that generative AI will soon replace human software developers. With tools like GitHub Copilot and AI-driven "vibe" coding startups, it may seem that AI has already significantly impacted software engineering. However, a new study suggests that AI still has a long way to go before replacing human programmers. The Microsoft Research study acknowledges that while today's AI coding tools can boost productivity by suggesting examples, they are limited

There are few areas where AI has seen more robust deployment than the field of software development. From "vibe" coding to GitHub Copilot to startups building quick-and-dirty applications with support from LLMs, AI is already deeply integrated. However, those claiming we're mere months away from AI agents replacing most programmers should adjust their expectations because models aren't good enough at the debugging part, and debugging occupies most of a developer's time. That's the suggestion of

AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and other top AI labs are increasingly being used to assist with programming tasks. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in October that 25% of new code at the company is generated by AI, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has expressed ambitions to widely deploy AI coding models within the social media giant. Yet even some of the best models today struggle to resolve software bugs that wouldn’t trip up experienced devs. A new study from Microsoft Research, Microsoft’s R&D

Rust Any Part 3: Finally we have Upcasts Three years ago I shared the As-Any Hack on this blog. That hack is a way to get upcasting to supertraits working on stable Rust. To refresh your memory, the goal was to make something like this work: #[derive(Debug)] struct AnyBox ( Box < dyn DebugAny > ); trait DebugAny : Any + Debug {} impl < T : Any + Debug + ' static > DebugAny for T {} The problem? Even though DebugAny inherits from Any , Rust wouldn't let you use methods from Any on a dyn DebugA

A Debugger is a REPL is a Debugger I love debuggers! The last time I used a debugger seriously was in 2017 or so, when I was still coding in Kotlin. I’ve since switched to working with native code, and, sadly gdb and lldb are of almost no help for me. This is because they are mere “debuggers”, but what I need is a REPL, and a debugger, all in one. In this article I show a more productive way to use debuggers as REPLS. The trick boils down to two IntelliJ IDEA features, Run to Cursor and Quick

Will AI Fully Eat Programming Jobs One Day? Almost every coder we surveyed had strong opinions on the matter. Here’s ChatGPT’s summary of the responses (with its boldface emphasis preserved): “The coders have spoken—and they’re not packing up their keyboards just yet. While a small but vocal group insists AI will devour programming jobs in time, most dismiss full automation as a pipe dream. The doom prophets warn that corporate bosses will slash payrolls the moment AI looks capable, leaving hu

One of my colleagues in enterprise product support runs a weekly debug talk consisting of a walkthrough of a debug session. Usually, the debug session comes to a conclusion, but one week, the debug session was unsatisfyingly inconclusive. We knew that something bad was happening, but we couldn’t figure out why. This problem gnawed at me, so I continued debugging it after the meeting was over. Here is the story. In the original problem, we observed a failure because a critical section failed to
