Kai Sassnowski and 3 others

Alright, let me introduce myself on this platform. I'm Kai. I really like programming. Here's a list of projects I've done: A highly interactive blog post about 2D collision resolution in video games. I hope to finish part 2 this year, but no promises 🙈 www.sassnow.ski/rigid-body-c...

I passed :)

if you study hard and become good at any given craft, you'll eventually see success unless, of course, it's 2026, and you're on the worst timeline terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a...

there used to be a strong correlation between seeing neat things online, and the person who made it: 1. is very knowledgeable and passionate about it 2. put love and care into it 3. is getting recognition for it but that trust is now gone, the grifters skipped to step 3, the slop ghouls have won

this wave of AI has legitimately killed a huge part of what I loved about seeing stuff online, what I loved about being an educator, and what I loved about sharing my own work I just don't feel like doing it anymore

Played a grass volleyball tournament today and now my entire lower body is cramping 🥲 Came in 7th out of 32 though so I'm pretty happy 😊

I've made a Kubernetes that runs in the browser, and today we're open sourcing it. The hope here is to make super interactive and visual web content about Kubernetes much easier to write, and we have a whole bunch planned this year. Repo: github.com/ngrok/webern... Demo: webernetes-demo.ngrok.app

Linear algebra is cool as shit, y'all 😍

I'm mentoring a lot of junior devs at my current job. By far the most common design advice I give them is to separate the thing that produces a value from the thing(s) that consumes the value. It's incredible how often that ends up massively simplifying the problem space.

this is a fantastic piece by @ky.fyi

I always love randomly seeing the things I’ve built in the wild 😊 (in this case utgars-chronicles.app)

the first of many upcoming Behind the Scenes posts for the new season is up on Patreon now! check it out for our whole spread of virtual notecards from our game of Microscope Chronicle in Appendix A: The Emerald Bloodletting www.patreon.com/posts/155699...

After reading a lot of mathematical proofs, I've come to the conclusion that every mathematician really wanted to be an English (or in my case, German) professor. Also, the subjunctive is now my best friend.

Hey, I wrote a thing about AI in astrophysics ergosphere.blog/posts/the-ma...

Today marks the official start of my bachelor's degree in math! I'm beyond excited 😍

Just released heerich.js, a tiny voxel engine that renders 3D scenes to SVG ╬ Boolean ops ◮ Oblique & perspective 𝑥 Zero dependencies ◌ Pure vector output, infinite scaling Named after Erwin Heerich's geometric cardboard sculptures. meodai.github.io/heerich/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=jndl...

The Jetsons lied to us

I spent 2 months learning about quantization and am extremely proud of the post I've written about it. I think these are some of the nicest visuals I've ever made, and I love how this compression technique invented in 1898 is being used on the bleeding edge in 2026. ngrok.com/blog/quantiz...

Even working through only the first few problem sets, I realized how much I love (and missed) chewing through difficult problems. There's something so satisfying about really having to think hard about a problem

It has begun! I'm especially looking forward to "Introduction to Imperative Programming" (I had to take CS as a minor) 🙃 At least they're using Go!

I just flopped on my bed and took a sip of coke and my fitness band excitedly told that I had just reached my calorie goal for the day. Alright then.

I've written up my understanding of SDF and MSDF fonts, and how to use them with msdfgen+webgl: www.redblobgames.com/articles/sdf... (I'll post it on my blog soon too)

@joe.codes Dude, first you play in Vulfpeck without telling me, now you randomly show up on my YouTube frontpage again. You're a man of many talents, Joe. Or should I say NICOLA?!

So I tried Vegemite for the first time recently and have a question for all my Australian friends: this is a giant practical joke y’all play on the rest of the world, right?

Diablo 2 just got a new expansion. The world is healing.

I'm just gonna leave this here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=E25-...

I swear, drawing that stupid square at the end of a mathematical proof has got to be the most satisfying thing ever.

I am happiest and proudest of my work when I am building things for other developers. I'd love to begin contributing to a meaningful, open source project, but I'm not sure where to even start.

My maths studies start on April 1 (no, seriously) and I'm unbelievably excited for it!

If you would've told my 16 y/o self that at 35 I would get up at 4am so I can get in 2 hours of math studying before I head to work (and genuinely looking forward to that), I would've told you to lay off the cocaine for a bit.
