Re:Show HN: Kvist – a Lisp for systems programming that compiles to Odin

Thanks! Kvist uses Odin’s allocator system directly, so you retain full control over allocators. Kvist adds some syntax support, but no additional allocation layer. And you can always interop with Odin directly.
Shhh, Don't Put Secrets in the Repo
The Creator's Oath: A Manifesto for Principled Software Builders
Re:The Creator's Oath: A Manifesto for Principled Software Builders

I wrote The Creator’s Oath as a pledge for software builders who want to create tools that honor integrity, simplicity, and the user’s freedom.
The Oath sets out eleven principles (integrity, empowerment, data ownership, AI as servant, simplicity, disciplined craft, transparent profit, long-term durability, respectful collaboration, stillness, and finding reward in the work itself).
