Radek Pazdera's personal blog at radek.io covers programming and systems. Since 2015, 7 different Hacker News readers have linked it 34 times, most often “The Magical Container_of() Macro”. The last post was in 2024, but the archive is still widely read.

I build software products and write on the Internet.

HN discussionI'm familiar enough with Bash to have written an opinionated but more-or-less comprehensive guide to it. I think Bash should be avoided as much as possible. Bash is great for things that you would have had to type out anyway, but using it to write programs is foolish. My rule of thumb has become, "if it's more than 30 lines long, or if it uses more than two variables, it should be written in another language". That…
