Hello developer theme users! It’s been a couple days since my last devlog, since I couldn’t make one last night since my dad thought I had school today, so let’s dive in so I can work on compliance and becoming a peer tutor for math for my school!

Bitmasks: origins

One of the biggest parts of this project is working with bytes and getting data from bytes. To do this, you have to shift the bits you want to the end and then mask them like (byte >> shift) & bitmask. I feel like I’ve gone through dozens of different styles for bitmask and shift numeric literals, which is where the whole style guide idea came from.

Personal Stylist

For the past 4 hours, I’ve been perfecting a style guide for my codebase. It’s a beautiful org doc with that sweet sweet table of contents with rules on everything from numeric literals to tests to error enums. There’s not to much to say except the next step is going over all 5000+ lines of code to enforce compliance.

I’d like that written up

A quick note on org. Many online code hosting services like GitHub and Codeberg support org rendering. Rather unfortunately, crates.io only supports a README.md, and not a README.org, which gives me a big sad, especially since I’ll haveto rewrite my README in markdown (ew), which does not give me the luxury of an automatically generated table of contents.

That’s it for now folks, see y’all tonight!
