Yeabsira Shimelis positions himself as a high-velocity builder-educator who bridges the gap between modern full-stack web development and low-level systems engineering. His content strategy centers on a "learning by building" philosophy, where he documents the creation of complex infrastructure tools—such as custom shells, HTTP servers, and emulators—to demystify how software works under the hood. What makes Yeabsira notable is his ability to translate dense Rust-based systems programming into accessible, open-source educational resources for his peers. This unique intersection of instructional leadership and technical transparency allows him to serve as both a mentor for web developers and a rigorous practitioner of systems architecture.

Just Built: Oxide-Cache — A High-Performance LRU Cache in Rust!
I’m excited to share Oxide-Cache, a thread-safe, Least Recently Used (LRU) caching library built from scratch to handle high-concurrency workloads.
Fixed-capacity storage with O(1) access
Thread-safe implementation using Mutex and Arc
Automatic eviction of least recently used items
Support for custom expiration policies
Zero-dependency build for maximum portability
Building this project taught me a lot about memory layout, pointer safety in Rust, and how to implement complex data structures like doubly-linked lists without falling into 'borrow checker hell'. It’s wild to see how much faster a system becomes when you optimize the data retrieval layer.
If you’re curious about how caching works under the hood or want to see a practical example of interior mutability in Rust, I’d love for you to check it out!

Whether you're building a web server or a CLI tool, a solid cache is a game changer. Happy to discuss the logic if anyone's interested!
