Casey Muratori on his work experience
I had the honor to chat with Casey Muratori - one of the most inspiring figure in the programming world. I followed Casey's work for a long time now and I've learned a lot from him. In this discussion I ask a lot about how we got where he is now - where did he learn to program, how his work looked like, how did he handle projects, when did he switch away from OOP. Casey created a lot of educational material, but one course stands out: Performance Aware Programming Series on https://www.computerenhance.com/ - I'm a happy subscriber, I love this course, you should check it out too, if you want to understand what makes your program go brr.
