Not tech related, but the advice from Jim Donovan, a very smart and successful Goldman Sachs exec with a chemical engineering BS and MBA from MIT and a JD from Harvard contains a lot of alpha and similarities to Lud's advice here

i think the solution is to look at good codebases and read stuff from matklad and all the tigerbeetle ppl
for example matklad’s “push ifs up and fors down”
how do i improve my intuition for structuring programs in systems PLs like zig and c?
seems like i always run into inefficiencies and design problems

when we write assembly we don’t have to worry about managing cache the same way when we write c we don’t have to worry about managing registers

the reason “just build stuff” is so important is that positive momentum compounds and your confidence to tackle new problems skyrockets
as you gain more general knowledge and confidence, you find opportunities to innovate and build in places you usually wouldn’t

luddite "coder" too purist to adopt new tech, stubbornly sticking to manual coding, getting left in the dust, obsessing over syntax
vs
modern programmer embracing LLMs, getting things done, making money, solving problems, building solutions
If you're against LLM-assisted programming, you're ngmi. we're programmers and builder who build cool shit. we're not "coders".
coding is a primitive, mind-numbing task. you should be instulted if somebody calls you a "coder". coding is just translating human ideas to something

this is much, much cleaner
we now allocate a single large block of memory during model initialization, which is then partitioned into sections for parameters, gradients, optimizer states, activations, and their gradients
paramatertensors and activationtensors are structs

zig enables you to format a struct for efficient memory layouts or specific implementation requirements and then use namespaced functions to provide clean interfaces to interact with
ex: entry struct for an interrupt descriptor table with a specific required memory layout

imo
programming will further bifurcate into extremes of high and low-level. developers will be extraordinarily productive, but will understand less about how their computers work. systems engineering will quietly determine the bounds of what everyone else builds

Never ask a question you could find the answer to yourself. Answering your own questions is the only way to learn and asking inane questions is disrespectful to the questioned’s time.

there’s a unique pleasure in writing a piece of software where perfection isn’t a goal, but a necessity.
where every element demands precision. each byte must find its exact address. each component must harmonize into a flawless symphony.
