My current sidequest is to improve the codegen for Unity games (and the editor) running on Mono. This post is a continuation of last week’s post about this journey. To LLVM or not to LLVM? The first d...

My current sidequest is to improve the codegen for Unity games (and the editor) running on Mono. This post and the next two are about this process and what I learned. In this post, I am going to give ...

tl;dr: I am tinkering with improved codegen for Mono to get better performance in the Unity Editor and in Unity games that ship with Mono as their runtime. Not done yet, but please do get in touch if ...

I am currently on a side quest to write some Zig code, or more specifically: take some C++ code that is written in a I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-C style and turn it into Zig. This entire adventure starte...

My friend Stefan Reinalter is asking: I find this extremely worrying, with many of people I respect saying things like “I no longer write code” or “let LLMs do it”. Why did you start programming? Was ...

Let’s talk about reader-writer locks. Reader-writer locks are what you employ when you know that multiple readers can safely access a resource concurrently, but once there is a single writer that writ...

Embark on a journey about why you should sometimes trust your OS more than yourself.

This post is a continuation of my last post about programming with AI agents. I wanted to specifically talk about one property of Claude Code: The constant “Yes, of course!” and “That’s a brilliant id...

There are less than 2 weeks left in 2025 and this means it is time to look back at the last year. In last year’s review I ended on this note: For the next year, I hope to spend more timing painting in...

I want to write a few words about what sorts of games benefit from my build postprocessor for Unity il2cpp builds, cpp2better. It’s not the case that every game unconditionally benefits from it to the...

A friend recently joked that all my blog posts are to some level just trauma processing. He is not entirely wrong. Today’s trauma is “why does it take 12s to recompile C# when nothing has changed?” I ...

It’s been a while since I last talked about cpp2better. Time for an official “here it is” post. What is cpp2better? cpp2better is a tool that hooks into your build pipeline for Unity to achieve better...

Only look at releases! This fork of Dawn is use to share precompiled artifacts until upstream shares official builds. - eliemichel/dawn-prebuilt

I have been unfortunate enough to embark on a journey of C++ cross-compilation, by choice nonetheless. In my case, I use clang to compile on a Linux machine to get binaries for a Windows machine. This...

At the risk of alienating almost everyone reading this blog, I wanted to report some first hand experience of interacting with AI for programming. I specifically want to talk about how I accidentally ...

In the past, I used to work in a codebase that had a lot of // @TODO: comments in it. Those TODOs would rank from obvious, small improvements to calls for features that would require an entire rewrite...

Over the years I have come to appreciate “unreasonable” coworkers. What a weird sentence to write, right? When it comes to programming, you are usually fairly well advised to be “reasonable.” For exam...
