Zig by Example
One of the preeminent Zig software projects, Tigerbeetle, has a great website[1] and markdown file[2] for what they call TigerStyle. It's honestly a great read as a human but also I packaged it as a skill and saw coding agent improvement, especially around memory usage.

Bun ported to Rust in 6 days
> Bun has had an extremely high amount of crashes/memory bugs due to them using Zig
This just sounds like they are not good at using Zig. I have been daily driving ghostty on linux for a fairly long time now and I have never seen these kinds of issues. I have also used ghostty on macos for a bit and didn't have any problems there either.
Zig is really good for writing stable and reliable code. There is also a database written in Zig that seems to be fairly successful [0].
I also wrote zig for some time and compiler/toolchain was really pleasant to use. I wrote more segfaults in Rust ffi code than all segfaults I had in Zig in total while I was writing Zig.

Zig – Type Resolution Redesign and Language Changes
I've worked on two "production" zig codebases: tigerbeetle [0] and sig [1].
These larger zig projects will stick to a tagged release (which doesn't change), and upgrade to newly tagged releases, usually a few days or months after they come out. The upgrade itself takes like a week, depending on the amount of changes to be done. These projects also tend to not use other zig dependencies.

Minimal x86 Kernel Zig
Gee, good thing I didn't make a blanket statement and qualified it by saying "often", which is true, my contrarian dude. https://tigerbeetle.com wouldn't have chosen it unless it found it faster than C- and there's a significant quantity of money riding on that decision, so it likely wasn't done lightly at all.

2025 Wrapup: Articles, Talks, Papers, and Software I Loved
TigerBeetle - A high-performance, fault-tolerant ledger database that has impressed me with its speed and reliability. It's designed for financial applications, but its principles can be applied to any system requiring robust data integrity. What I'm most impressed about is their engineering philosophy and approach to building software. They focus on simplicity, correctness, and performance, which aligns with my renewed values as a developer.
