poltora.dev is an independent engineering blog. It publishes long-form articles about how things work underneath the abstraction — memory management, language runtimes, and the tools developers spend all day inside — and what that actually changes about the code you write.
What's covered
5 articles so far, across 20 pages once every translation is counted. The recurring subjects:
How the articles are made
Every article is written once, in Russian, then translated into English, Spanish and Portuguese. Code blocks are never machine-translated — they are carried across verbatim, so a snippet reads identically in all four languages. Each language version lives at its own URL and links to the others, so you can switch language without losing your place.
Code examples come from configurations and projects that are actually in use, and the ones worth reusing are published as repositories rather than left as fragments in prose. Where an article makes a claim about behaviour, it shows the code that demonstrates it.
Corrections and contact
Found an error, or disagree with something? That is worth hearing — write to me on Telegram or X. Articles are corrected in place when something turns out to be wrong, and the revision date on the article is updated to say so.
Code lives on GitHub. New articles are announced on the Telegram channel above, and the full feed is available over RSS.
