		archagon on Oct 19, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Cursors Arrgh, how do you guys write these awesome, complex projects (with networking! and built-in tools!) in just a few days? If I tried my hand at making this, it would take me, like, a month. What is the trick that lets you leap across this order-of-magnitude-sized time gap? Great work!

You just have to be familiar with your tools. I even wrote my own websocket server implementation, because there wasn't any good ones for libuv.

Your profile doesn't have much info but a blog post or something would make for a fun read.
