I really appreciate that despite being an obvious domain expert, he’s starting with the simple stuff and not jumping straight into crazy obscure parts of the x86 instruction set

After 25-years of software development, I still wonder whether I’m using the best possible compiler flags.

Matt Godbolt is an absolute gem for the C & C++ community.

Many thanks to him for that.

Between that and compiler explorer, it is fair to say he made the world a better place for many of us, developers.

You can never have too much Godbolt!

Is there a PDF somewhere? I'm not really able to follow YT videos.
