About namalzi

What this is

namalzi is a blog of notes on things I learned by doing them and by taking them apart. Right now it covers two subjects.

The first is Unity. I am learning it from scratch and writing up what I practised, where I got stuck and how I got out, and the scripts I wrote along the way. When those skills turn into games, the games will be introduced here so you can try them.

The second is digging into open source with AI. I read the source code of widely used open-source projects, asking AI questions as I go, and write up how they actually work inside. It has covered Spring, the Apache HTTP Server (httpd), Tomcat, nginx, MariaDB, Gradle and Kafka.

The rules I write by

• Write what I actually did — the problems I really ran into while practising and reading code, and how I solved them.
• Write it so it can be followed — menu paths, settings, scripts and where the code lives are not left out.
• Check what AI tells me — only what I confirmed in the actual source code or by running it goes into a post.
• What is stored is written down — plainly, in the privacy policy.
