i am still 100% convinced if you are getting 100x faster you are delusional or you were so bad at programming to begin with let me explain 1. 100x = 3.5 days == what you did in 1 year delusional or really really bad at programming

"C is a high level language based on an earlier language called B...It is designed to run under the Unix operating system (also designed and written by these people)" BYTE from Oct 1977 introduced readers to the C programming language

@ThePrimeagen I run a yearly charity stream for Monterey Bay Aquarium in September, we've raised $1m over 6 years. Would you send me some stuff so that I can raffle it off for charity? Could be literally anything. This is a real request, DM me if you're interested! #SaveTheOcean

I am very excited to start “The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles” aka Nand2Tetris. The scope of this course is insane, looking forward to it :)

I was reading some fixed point tutorials and all of them "cheat" in a way or another. Suppose you have a machine with word size of 32 bits to store a fixed point number, don't use 64 bits for multiplication, use 2 words. It may be harder, but it is more interesting of an exercise

Well, here we go. After well over two years, here's a new version of my programming languages book, PLAI (v3.2.5). As always, free of cost! Can't thank enough all the people named in the acknowledgments. Enjoy! plai.org

Why so many C data structures and algorithms books suggest the use of a linked list as support for implementing a stack ? A dynamic array is faster and more cache friendly.

Happy Friday! The instructions to build your very own EndBASIC microcomputer (aka the EndBOX), including links to components AND the very first public disk images 😱, are now available. Have fun! endbasic.dev/2025/07/endbox…

In programming and writing, there is a relationship between 'producing content' (words, code) and 'getting results'. However, the relationship is thinner than most people assume. Nobody ever complains that a piece of software has too few lines of code, or that a blog post as too…
