Bystroushaak's blog

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. I am a Czech Python programmer, so this blog is a lot about ImageProgramming, but also about ImagePhilosophy, Image3D modeling, ImageTechnological marvels, and all the magic I can find in the world.

In my spare time, I like to work on open source. I've created several libraries for various languages (Python, D, Smalltalk, ..), and I am also working on my toy programming language ImagetinySelf, and custom personal wiki software called ImageobjWiki.

I consider myself to be on a quest for the things that came after the printing press, when people finally realized that they didn't have to print a Bible all the time. Except, of course, I am talking about computers and the stupidity of our age and especially of my field. For this reason, I like to explore decades-old concepts of the software world around structured and object systems. Think Xerox PARC, Engelbart, Genera (lisp), Smalltalk (Kay) and Self (see ImageSeries about Self). I have a hope that one day I'll become a craftsman worthy of my craft.

Other than that, I am super interested in rationality, autodidactism, and the study of how one can self-improve.

Creativity — the kind this essay is about — doesn't live inside one head. It emerges between minds as a response to a provocation: a move in a game no single player controls.

ImageLessons learned from games ()

Some games make abstract engineering concepts feel physical. Belts and assemblers turn throughput into something you can see. Budgets turn refactoring into a trade-off you can’t ignore. Closed systems make early decisions echo much later. This post collects the few times that feeling survived the game and followed me back into my work.

Startup idea for 3D printing-friendly electronic components which can be picked & placed by the 3D printer itself. Kinda like lego, but for electronics. Backported from depth of my personal wiki.

An old concept about time-multiplexing specific assets in the form of a "cryptocurrency." Backported from depth of my personal wiki.
