Ask HN: What's your favorite programmer niche?
As of recent I've been weirdly fascinated with codecs, serialization protocols, file formats, and the like. It scratches that low-level hacking itch (I spent most of my professional programming in web dev space) without as much commitment to electronics (used to be super big into arduino but I find that's harder to pick up and put down).
I've started hacking on my own container format (yeah, I know, xkcd927), after finding it super frustrating to embed arbitrary time-synched data streams into mp4/matroska/ogg/etc. Also it bugs me how crusty, complicated, and arcane mp4 is, and at the same time, mastroska and ogg are weirdly opaque given how they are supposed to be open standards.
If anyone is curious, here's my container format I've been developing: https://github.com/xkortex/sito

Advanced Scientific Data Format
We presented using Parquet formats for bioinformatics 2012/13-ish at the Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC) and got laughed out of the place.
While using Apache Spark for bioinformatics [0] never really took off, I still think Parquet formats for bioinformatics [1] is a good idea, especially with DuckDB, Apache Arrow, etc. supporting Parquet out of the box.
