Pascal’s scribbles

A bunch of notes on various topics and projects I’m working on (probably mostly programming-related). You can also follow me on Mastodon or on Bluesky.

Want me to work with you? I’m currently working as a freelancer for projects mainly in Rust. If you or your company needs some help, reach out!

You can find the source of this website on Github , where you can also open issues to discuss the posts.
