Two software engineers come together to discuss all the aspects of solving problems at the hardware software interface. Our firmware intern Jacob Little joins us from North Carolina State University, and speaks to one of Ampere's technical leaders, Kevin Smith. Kevin is the Vice President of Languages and Compilers. Topics in this episode include working across organizations, how to up-level your communications, explaining concepts to audiences both technical and non-technical, and uplifting our peers!

#31: Solving Puzzles in Compilers and Beyond (Kevin Smith)

The final course in a CS undergrad at U of T.  The wizard has let me pass.

CSC488 final lecture

И35: А. И. Коробейников | компиляторы | LLVM | MLIR | Clang | биоинформатика

A high-energy nerdcore/chiptune rap anthem that roasts the classic “n & 1 vs n % 2” holy war. With aggressive 8-bit beats and rapid-fire verses, it passionately defends modulo (%) as the clearer, future-proof way to check if a number is odd or even, calling out bitwise AND fanatics for premature optimization and unreadable code. Catchy chorus, savage burns, and a strong “readability > micro-optimizations” message—perfect for coders who value maintainability over bragging about three saved nanoseconds.

girl I’ve been thinking bout you lately
back in the days we were chilling in 8b
working all night just to finish PA3 
and when it was just us, I used to make believe

that we could do more than code binary trees
you were a perfect one, one hot state machine
I was convinced that me and you was all a pipe dream
but then the truth hit me like an ultralight beam

keepitinside
[I should never worry about the worst case
how else was I gonna get to first base]

because you typecast my int to a long
when I see you in the labs I just wanna turn you on

[so I said] you and I click, so well
we should do an inner join like SQL
and what happened next I was not prepared
you said yes and we combined to make a key pair

CHORUS (keepitinside)

you assembled my heart
you made my stack overflow
you were my cafe babe
you were my number zero
I know HTML
Java, Python, and C
but the only language that I need
is your love

you’re the model that I view, I’m the controller
ls dash a, show me all your hidden folders
I know all the commands, just a young hacker boy
give you that big o, stroke game mcilroy

call me TCP cuz I’m delivering packets
git push in your repository, but I always wrap it
because encapsulation is my favorite principle of object oriented languages 

ok enough with the metaphors
but I’m known to switch it up like semaphores
type dirty to me in hexadecimal
damn right baby I’m a sex professional

we did it all, algorithms to compilers
and every time I got a little bit wise-r
spending all my nights with you, always wide awake
you were my kernel, my framework, my lion cake 

CHORUS

it couldn’t last
I preferred the lamp and you preferred the mean stack
you were headed for a new startup, I was holding you back
but it still hurts every time I see you make a post on slack

we were twos complement, now we got dead beef
wish I could just rm rf my memories
I wonder if you allocated memory for me
or if your garbage collection chose to set me free

man I know we had problems
and we couldn’t solve em
thats some NP shit yo

now I’m forever in a deadlock
you got me feeling like a segfault
but you’ll always be my CAFEBABE

CHORUS

My Mixed Tape
