programming for decades. solid fundamentals. troubleshooter. tech lead/arch. SRE-ish. solved legacy Heisenbugs & shipped, many times.
author of perf cheatsheet
writing book on HPC
US citizen, native English
ex Orbitz on core tech (JVM, GC, perf regress follow-up, ops, logs, instrum, caches, sessions, threads, db conns)
research & due diligence for US State Dept on public defenses against foreign adversarial propaganda & disinfo (ie. natsec)
game engine creator & toolmaker since kid. once built small sw biz
recent client: sys prog R&D on mem alloc latency & SEGV resilience. C on Linux. delivered code, benchmarks, diagrams & report on how to upgrade perf & avail of their soft-RT (micros mattered), $-impacting backend
meanwhile all I need is a cursor (lowercase) and I can program and do all the actual software engineering I need. been true for many decades and likely will for many more
unfortunate name: very similar to Godot at passing glance. my brain already stumbles going back and forth between seeing LLVM and LLM, IP (Internet protocol) and IP (Intellectual property). Don't me started on X vs X vs X vs ...
I do like that it reinforces this rule of thumb:
Q: "How do you know if any given piece of software is written in Rust?
A: "Oh they'll tell you. They *will* tell you. Upfront and over and over again."

between all the Linux LPEs and Claude's known security flaws, alone, I'd be shocked if Github and Microsoft hadnt gotten hacked by now. reasonable bet we mainly hear it when big shops get bit
I have respect for Karpathy. Not for anyone who made Claude or promotes it. So this is a shame. But I can't fault anyone for accepting an offer with (I assume) lots of 0's in the dollar part.
