Keeping a labs corner: C++23, algorithms, and Terraform
cppalgorithmsterraformlearning
Labs is the one node in the constellation that isn't trying to be a product. It groups the sandbox and learning repos, and keeping it small and visible is the honest move.
What's in it
- a C++23 project template, set up to exercise modern features like the
three-way comparison ("spaceship") operator
<=>, - a hello-interview collection of data-structures-and-algorithms practice in TypeScript, and
- a Terraform sandbox built on the local provider, for infrastructure-as-code reps without touching a cloud bill.
Why group them
Three tiny repos as three tiny stars would pad the map and imply more than there is. One "Labs" node credits the work without inflating it. It's the sharpening stone, not the blade: a modern C++ baseline to keep the language fresh, algorithm reps to keep the fundamentals warm, and IaC practice to keep the ops muscles from atrophying.
The point of a labs corner
Shipping products is the visible work; staying sharp is the work that makes the next product better. Naming a place for the second kind — and being upfront that it's practice, not production — is just keeping the portfolio honest.
