Just had one of those moments, that showed me, why I started programming in the first place.
A few months ago I wrote a CLI tool in C, to benchmark binaries and python scripts measuring mean, median, stddev, …, for Real-time, CPU-times and max RSS.
Then I spent a few weeks writing a build tool for C programs, using Rust, supporting gcc and clang.
Now, for the first time, I used my build tool, to build the benchmarking tool and then used the benchmarking tool, to measure my build tools performance.
It felt weirdly powerful, like I had started to build my own little ecosystem.
That „I built all of this myself“ Moment was just pure joy. That kind of thing, that makes all the late nights worth it!
I’m curious, has anyone else had similar moments, where your tools started building or testing each other? Would love to hear them!
