  • I’m learning c++ via exercism because I’d like to use it for game development and other high performance use cases, and because it’s a good pip for the resume.

    In fact, I mostly did this because so many job listings mention it, haven’t even come up with a high-scale game dev problem to solve.

    I’ll probably continue because I find it interesting and no amount of practice is bad, but my question is how is everyone letting this affect their outlook on c++ in their career vs side projects, etc. Really, I’m having a hard time imagining why it was important for this to be said in this way instead of just changing internal policies and job listings.



  • Cradle by Will Wight because the characters are endearing and believable and tangibly grow as people while they grow in the magic system which while we’re at it is very satisfying variation on Chinese martial arts “magic” systems, the power scaling is nuts.

    The world is deep and interesting and you get a lot of insight into it from other characters perspectives

    It’s 12 books and everything builds from everything you’ve read naturally. The themes speak to me, etc.
