Had my birthday, made some good contributions, Erebus demo and Sidereal strategies
Dev updates lately (Aug 2 - Aug 9)
Heya. Up with another update for the last week! It was a pretty good week honestly. Did a good amount of work, both contributions and personal projects, celebrated my birthday, went out one day to work from a cafe, and wrote a lot of Rust, learnt quite a lot of things as well, and continued my CS studies (wish I did this earlier tho lol).
Work that I've done
Made several PRs to Nethermind's Stellar Private Payments project, where I fixed a few CLI issues, like configuring how to enable the bootnode_url to an user onboarding and a way for them to reject it (here), worked on letting users download any old release with the latest config from the repo itself (here), and self-reviewed a PR which implemented a couple of expamples using SPP. Am now am looking at a few harder tasks. I also mapped the CLI end to end, how the onboarding works, how the bootnode, explorer are configured, how tracing is used for logging etc.
Apart from that, been diving deep into the entire project itself, because I am pretty interested in working on this, and it ties to what me an Ishita are building in Erebus as well. Speaking of which, we made the demo video for Erebus, got a good response from the StarkWare people, who liked the idea. I will talk about it more someday soon. We are figuring out a couple of stuffs regarding the V1, was reached out by a company as well. It's fun writing a sdk in rust, and making design decisions by myself (yeah I'm using codex for the design choices and writing it myself as it's more fun this way and there's no deadline too).
Haven't touched Data Structures' lectures this week, have covered OS topics mostly, from lazy/eager loading, virtualizing the CPU, how a process works in details, high level concurrency, process APIs like fork(), wait(), kill() and exec() and a lot more.
Conclusion
That was this week. Looking forward to next week with lots of exciting stuffs. Honestly, I would love to have a job rn and be working remotely from different places apart from my home, but gotta wait for such a time I guess :D See ya!
