Quick intro. Have been coding for the past 35 years. Professionally, I've spent 11 years doing game development and 10 years doing cloud computing work, now doing GPU R&D. Game development is the real interest from the C64 to modern consoles. Assembler(#6502, #68000, x86) or c/c++. I love it!

TIL that because the FFmpeg project has gained so much experience in hand-writing assembly code to provide huge speedups, they now are putting together a series of lessons for learning assembly:
Vibe coding is fun and all, but this is probably a better use of time!
