Suboptimal Engineer

@EIiasNajarro Nice! Did you use TS or Rust to make it?

How to step through code in LLDB using n, ni, s, and si. C++ deep dive on my YouTube channel 🫡

Did you know about the compiler optimization that PREVENTS moving the stack pointer for a leaf function? I certainly didn't and was confused reading the generated x86 assembly. C++ deep dive on my YouTube channel 🫡

Ever wonder how C++ stack frames get created and destroyed? Or how %rbp and %rsp work? I go over the details by stepping through some x86 assembly in LLDB. C++ tutorial is on my YouTube channel 🫡

@TheCherno This would be interesting! Would you use WebGPU?

Should I start a new Game Engine series but this time I use AI to write most of the code 👀

@arpit_bhayani Awesome, congrats 👏

Joined Razorpay as Principal Engineer II :) From being a long-time customer to now building parts of the system - it's a full circle. Fintech is a new territory for me - time to get under the hood of how money actually moves. New domain, same guarantees - availability, correctness, performance - just with real money on the line.

10 months until AI replaces all software engineers.

C++ WebGPU Shader Engine (part 19) Here's a demo which stitches frames together using FFmpeg. Each image was auto captured during a hot reload. Please excuse the 2 FPS, that is by design. The goal is to have a tool that can show the iterative process of shader development!

C++ WebGPU Shader Engine (part 18) Implemented a feature to capture images whenever I hot reload a WGSL shader! The goal is to use FFmpeg to stitch these images into a video. This reduces the number of times I need to open screen capture to record.

@rpandey1234 Congratulations 🎉 🔥

Big news 🎉 Taro is getting acquired by Handshake AI to accelerate coding capabilities at AI labs. We just launched a dedicated program to have 10k software engineers contribute to frontier model development.

Made a 12 minute tutorial going over how to set up and use the C++ debugger in VS Code. Video is live on my YouTube channel!

@thorstenball @wookash_podcast 😅

@wookash_podcast Yep, that's what I'm doing.

If you're a bottleneck to AI doing its job it, you're doing menial tasks, glue code, low complexity work. Look for work that would require your taste, aesthetics, sense, knowledge, hunches, heuristics, etc.

@XorDev Very cool! Not having to copy paste is gold 🥇

Introducing FragCoord: My ultimate shader editing tool!

C++ WebGPU Shader Game Engine (part 17) Spent the last 2 days cleaning up tech debt created from mindlessly copy pasting AI generated code. The project is finally at a good pausing point! Here's one final demo (for now).

C++ WebGPU Shader Game Engine (part 16) Added the Sobel filter as a post processing effect.

C++ WebGPU Shader Game Engine (part 15) Swapping noise textures.

C++ WebGPU Shader Game Engine (part 14) Finally working on an option to import noise textures. Code is complete AI slop. Need to fix it at some point.

@CoreDumpped On a side note, love your videos btw!

A C compiler is one of the most over-represented “serious projects” in software engineering. Students, hobbyists, researchers. Thousands have written and published one. Is the model solving problem or statistically reconstructing patterns from a saturated training distribution?

C++ WebGPU Shader Game Engine (part 13) Couldn't stop myself from adding more features. Using the node editor seemed a bit excessive so I implemented a simpler way to add and customize post processing effects.

I guess I'm joining the choir but i genuinely gotta say, if i didn't know how to code that's the first thing I would be doing right now. It's the single most impactful skill. I'm not one to give life advice, but understanding how to think and weigh tradeoffs, and ultimately make a judgement call, seems like it will always be important. And if it isnt, all bets are off anyway. People out here scared of mass unemployment aren't necessarily wrong.. but there's at least 100 things that could happen within 50 years, that are just as likely, and will be just as painful to humanity. Most ppl aren't scared of WMDs because it isnt constantly shoved in our faces like w AI. But idk, i feel like it's just as likely. Does this make you feel more scared? I guess it could. But for me, it's actually motivating. It makes me realize the sense of security I had in life was always a false one to begin with. Humans are literally made to fight, not lay down and die at the first sign of adversity. If you care about the future, you have to fight like hell to shape it. And if you go down, at least go down swinging.
