   I'm sorry, Serbia. According to [0], it seems like E-2 would be applicable, too. Thank you. [0]: https://www.usimmigrationadvisor.com/active-e-2-treaty-count...

   What's the best path from zero to a fully legal status (visa first I imagine, but eventually citizenship) in the US for someone coming over from the Western Balkans (non-EU), with a bachelors degree in EE or CS and no prior work experi

   The central point behind this type of books isn't so much to build an enterprise-grade production-ready thing, but rather to bridge the delta between zero and having a working thing of sufficiently large complexity, which inevitably ex

   Yeah. My favorite are books that guide you through implementing complex systems projects from scratch, like Nora Sandler's "Writing a C compiler", or Sy Brand's "Building a Debugger". I wish they produced A L

    I'll admit that I'd used github copilot while I worked on one of my projects, and I couldn't help it but notice a rather significant cognitive decline whenever I set out to take over and start hammering out the code myself.

    I mean, it's not like I'm going to forget how to write code any time soon. I'm currently recovering from the n-th tough burnout, and I feel like I need a shift toward something new and meaningful. When it comes to job oppor

    I'm literally considering a career switch from software engineering to electrical engineering and electronics, and naturally going back to school, because the AI and the way it's used in writing software has sucked out all the mea

    This comment really caught my attention. I have considered enrolling in a university precisely for the same reason, but I never would have thought that something like that would be considered "valid". I guess I'm full of ques

    I've had this exact bug happen to me when I implemented my git clone. The way I found out was that Github kept rejecting my push, because as I later discovered, my git history was invalid precisely due to entries being sorted improperl

    There is also James Coglan's "Building git" book that I just went through and can vouch for its quality.

    The concepts that the OP talks about (liveness analysis, constant folding, dead code elimination), and similar stuff revolving around IR optimization, can be found explained in great detail in Nora Sandler's "Writing a C compiler&

    I haven't either, although I'm a little younger than you (about to turn 31), so deep down there's still hope I eventually will within some reasonable timeframe, while I'm still "young".

    A good place to start is "Crafting interpreters" by Bob Nystrom. Then, after you gain some experience, you could try tackling Nora Sandler's "Writing a C compiler".
