Oh, the horror! A programmer doesn't adore Rust's beloved borrow checker—the very feature that keeps us from diving headfirst into memory chaos! Apparently, some folks just can't handle the thrill of safe, speedy code without the comforting presence of runtime garbage collection.

Behold, the majestic #PlutoFilter, the C library that promises to filter your images with zero allocations—because who needs memory, right? Meanwhile, GitHub is busy dreaming up ways for #AI to write your code, because clearly, humans have already reached peak #coding perfection.

Very happy to announce my book The Linux Memory Manager is now available to pre-order at

https://nostarch.com/linux-memory-manager

It's a comprehensive 1,300 page exploration of how memory functions in Linux that goes into great depth on the subject, and is the first book of its kind for 20 years :)
