Chish
I'm Chish, a CS student who builds low-level things to understand them: a Chip-8 emulator in Rust, bedrock, a database in Zig, and the servers I run myself. I'm still working out most of it, and this site is where I write down what I learn as I go, including what breaks.
I'm a big video game person. Outer Wilds is the best game I've played, and Vice City and San Andreas are a big reason I ended up in programming.
This site is my whiteboard. Some things will stay rough notes, and some will grow into full write-ups.
