The cohort ended with 33 active contributors merging 148 pull requests, and feitreim received the grand prize. ### Source excerpt A retrospective on the Zed Guild - what we built with our community contributors, what we learned, and what comes next. ## Good books for deep hacks DevFeed: [Good books for deep hacks]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2017-04-13T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Joe Nelson]() Topics: [Learning](), [coding](), [D](), [Concurrency](), [systems](), [SQL](), [networking](), [Transactions](), [Git](), [CSS](), [Document Object Model (DOM)]() Tags: [books](), [concurrency](), [css](), [deep](), [deep-dive](), [distributed](), [git](), [history](), [learning](), [networking](), [sql](), [systems](), [technical](), [transactions]() ### AI overview A curated reading list for long-term study of computer technology through projects and technically deep books. It emphasizes mature and historical ideas, C, manual memory management, concurrency, performance measurement, experimentation, debugging, SQL, transactions, recovery, TCP/IP, IPv6, radio, mesh networking, and delay-tolerant networked programs. ### Source excerpt 2017-04-13 For the past few months I've been compiling a list of books for a deep dive into interesting technical topics. My theory is that working on projects based on these topics will be like strong individual threads I can weave into epic hacks. This list is basically a curriculum for decades of learning about the wonders of computers. What's exciting about many of these books is how they draw on the good ideas from history. ## A Personal Perspective on Programming Languages and Programmer Productivity DevFeed: [A Personal Perspective on Programming Languages and Programmer Productivity]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Bruce Eckel Published: 2015-08-29T00:00:00Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Bruce Eckel - Computing Thoughts]() Topics: [MSVC](), [C](), [Go Language](), [D]() Tags: [c](), [c-plus-plus](), [complexity](), [go](), [productivity](), [simplicity]() ### AI overview The author describes studying programming languages and helping others understand or solve language-related problems. They evaluate languages primarily by simplicity, clarity, and programmer productivity, and discuss moving beyond C++98 while considering D and Go as alternatives to C++ complexity. ### Source excerpt I have a very narrow set of skills, which can be summarized as "delving into a language and helping others understand and (sometimes) solve problems involving that language." That's too simple, however - because I ultimately seek "the best" language, for my own personal definition of "best." I also leave languages behind. While I once knew all the ins and outs of C++, for example, I stopped studying that language after C++98, searching for a language that gave me more.
