Old Dell XPS 13 -- my personal patch set, arch installed
My retired 2017 XPS 13. Arch, kernel 6.8 with my own patch set, suspend works, webcam works, trackpad is set up the way I like it. Boots in 3 seconds. If you want to see how I use a computer, borrow this for a weekend.
Kernel Patch Review -- free, and I promise to be kind
Email me your kernel patch. I will review it. I owe the community this one. You get honest feedback. Free. You do not even have to say thank you. But it will be kind -- that is the deal I made in 2018 and I am keeping it.
FFmpeg From Scratch -- 2 hours, from fopen to H.264
We read the original FFmpeg source. I walk you through the demuxer, the codec, the filter graph, and the mux. By the end you will understand why every video on the internet passes through this code.
Rails Code Review -- I will tell you the truth
One hour. Push a branch, walk through it with me. I will be honest. Some people cry. Some people ship better code the next day. Most do both.
Rework -- signed, scribbled in
My own working copy of Rework (2010). I wrote it with Jason. The margin notes are my regrets and upgrades -- things we'd change ten years on. Read them before you argue with the book.
Git From First Principles -- it is just a content-addressable filesystem
Two hours. We rebuild Git from scratch: blobs, trees, commits, refs. By the end you will stop being scared of rebase and merge and know what a detached HEAD actually is.
QEMU Emulator Tour -- How I Emulated x86 in C
One session. The dynamic translator, the TCG, the device model, the memory map. After this you will know how VMs actually work, not just how to run one.
Solo-Hacker Setup Tour -- Vim + tmux + why I never used an IDE
One hour. I show you my 2009 editor config. We argue about keybindings. You leave with a setup that lets you ship features without your hands ever leaving the home row.
Quake Engine Source Tour -- 2 hours, commented
We walk through the Quake engine line by line. BSP trees, visibility, collision, the network code. You will see why the game shipped on a Pentium 75 and still looked like magic.
Redis Internals Bootcamp -- 4 sessions
Four 90-minute sessions. We read Redis source together -- event loop, key expiration, the AOF. You walk away able to find a memory leak in anybody's C code. Bring a laptop and a kitchen light.
Framework Extraction Workshop -- pull a library out of your real app
Three sessions. Bring a real codebase. We find the patterns worth extracting, pull them into a gem, and ship both the product AND the library. The Basecamp-to-Rails move, but on your code.
Hacker's Delight (annotated -- my margin notes)
My personal copy of Hacker's Delight by Henry S. Warren Jr. Every bit-twiddling trick I ever used came from here. My margins are covered in Italian swear words where a theorem surprised me. Handle carefully.
