“Never sell the product, Sell the dream. You’re selling a person on an idea, an opportunity, a lifestyle, a feeling that comes from owning the product, not the product itself. People like to own, they don’t like to buy. Owning is fun, buying isn’t.” – @famouzmy #gamedev

Something I wish I’d been reminded of when I was learning to code: Just watching coding tutorials is like going to the gym just to watch someone else lift weights. It’s valuable to see how experts do it, but to actually build your coding skills—you’ve got to code! #gamedev

I watched the C documentary. Here's my review. We live in unprecedented times. We have the opportunity to talk to people who were at the origins of groundbreaking modern innovations. C will exist for millennia. Its creators will not. I was fascinated by how C became so popular. Basically: 1. They did an outstanding job. Everyone wanted to use it. 2. Bjarne gave as many talks as he could to let people know about C . The marketing budget was abysmal in the beginning. Bjarne's employer gave him just $5,000. It was barely enough to organise a single conference. C was so good that even Brian Kernighan himself said that C isn't suitable for problems where C excels (yes, that Brian Kernighan from the famous The C Programming Language). What astonished me the most was how C 's focus on performance enabled it to become so widespread and survive several "winters," such as periods when hardware was getting faster and faster every year. Nowadays, C is used everywhere: phones, operating systems, embedded systems, finance, energy grids, and scientific computing. Even the entire AI industry is powered by C C is a net positive for society, and making C better makes the entire world better. Of course, C is not without its flaws. It is becoming bigger and more complex every year. It's really hard to learn C and use it effectively. The onboarding time is insane. Besides, safety remains a significant issue. Regardless, exciting times lie ahead!
