I bet that thing was fast!
I mean, just because you implemented something in a low level lang, it doesn't mean you're gonna have the fastest implementation. Even in high level langs, there's usually heavy optimization involved in things that are done all the time (e.g. web servers)

can your React do that?? didn't fackin think so dabs mockingly
How I love mista azozin...

I spent a good fraction of my career taking over and trying to fix code bases that my company refused to scrap and replace outright because they didn't want to admit their worthlessness. Complete rewrites would have taken maybe a tenth of the time I spent.
My favorite thing to encounter (which was nearly universal) was the phenomenon of a young programmer fresh out of college encountering SQL for the first time, deciding he hated it, and writing a huge mess of code to handle auto-generating the necessary SQL. I remember taking over one C# application that had classes named "AND.cs" and "OR.cs" which just took a String as a parameter and returned that String with " AND " and " OR " appended to it, respectively. In about an hour, I replaced three months of this guy's work that had bottlenecked the project with like five SQL statements.
It's insane to think what the civil engineering world would be like if it had the career structure of the software world.
Holy shit, have we worked with the same guy?

First thing I tell my interns: "The guys that made that database are smarter than you, they got PhD's for the algorithms the database uses. You are going to use SQL properly, and query properly, because the database will always do it better than your python code."
Nah, we'll just SELECT * from both tables and loop through the arrays in JavaScript to associate the records.

It was a pleasure to work with!
Right? I can't tell you how disappointed I was to move to a "real" PC later and find the tools to be so much worse. Like you could position stuff with a GUI in VB or Delphi, but if you wanted to resize a window, it was a real faff to get everything moving about as it should.

Meh. Even hosting static files in a RAM disk over localhost, you're 99% as good as you can be by using the
sendfile()system call. The kernel can copy data from one file descriptor to another faster than any userspace program can. Implementing theLengthheader is astat()call.If you're not on a RAM disk and not on localhost, then disk access or network throughput will predominate.
Assembly is not magic go faster sauce.

I once write a web app in C, but this terrifies even me.. though Tsoding, the guy in the video, did that, too..

Yeah, learning Windows GUI programming was like taking 10 steps backwards. As was many other things on Windows compared to AmigaOS.
But it was good to start with something properly designed, learning GTK and wxWidgets was a breeze with a MUI background.

Who do you think is better at writing assembly? @[email protected] or a modern compiler with hundreds of contributors.

I used to work for Cisco but I can't say what it's like internally. Not because of an NDA but because I literally have no idea. I worked for a much smaller competitor of theirs that they acquired, obviously just to remove a competitor from the marketplace. We were all allowed to work remotely but given nothing at all to do for six months and then everybody (except the executives, of course) was laid off.
Literally just had the same thing happen to me. This time at Microsoft. Worked for a small startup. It got bought out in 2023 after investments in actual hardware that wasn't named Nvidia died.
Layoffs on most of our engineers. Somehow I survived and basically did no work for 2 years. Was finally laid off.
I hated it. But I basically stole a salary from Microsoft for two years. Fuck these big tech companies.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]This guy's code once fired a 125 mph knuckleball a foot above a 10-year-old kid's head. Probably not the same guy.

Honestly "C + SDL + Lua" is basically the best, most sane"full stack" I have ever used.
IMO it allows for the perfect level of abstraction.

The person on the video, known online as Tsoding (or by some as "mista azozin"), was writing a music visualizer program using the raylib library for writing videogames. raylib doesn't have code aimed at UI handling, meaning he had to manage the UI by himself. He likes doing a little bit of trolling, so that's why he picked that title.
Tsoding does by far the most entertaining recreational programming sessions I have ever seen on the Internet, so, despite them being quite long (about two hours), I recommend you watch at least a little bit of his videos/streams if you have time.
