Hello, so I’m just curious what it takes to be a great backend engineer. What CS knowledge do you need to understand? What are some backend engineer fundamentals? And in terms of a…

Thank you so much for this response.

Hello you all. I find backend web engineering interesting especially the infrastructure such as http and tcp protocols, key value stores, cache, message queues and so on. I’ve done…

wow -- thanks so much. I will learn group theory and abstract algebra. thanks

Hello, Hope all is well. I love math but haven’t studied much of it. I have only studied up to real analysis. But definitely not a whole semester worth; my experience with analysis…

I have been on a journey of studying compilers and despite only knowing some of the basics and despite writing only a few small compilers, my compiler studies have been illuminatin…

Implementing tcp sounds like a lot of fun!

Very I interesting project. Thanks. I’m going to start using it for my job search. Great job!

My apologies for saying the following but can you share some books or papers that support your view? The example that I provided was from the dragon book. CMU uses that same exampl…

Three address code: ``` p = a + b q = p-c p = q * d ``` Ssa: ``` p1 = a+ b q1= p1 - c p2 = q1 * d ``` Given the above examples how is it not straightforward to use ssa instead of t…

The first programming language I learned was Scheme - I read the little schemer by Felleisen but my second book was what really taught me to program. This second book was structure…

It’s really rewarding though when you write a compiler. I recommend the experience. But if you think about compilers are so fundamental for the whole software infrastructure. So I …

SICP was a great book too. It taught me to program, and bent my mind. I just marveled at the Beauty of it a few times.

I have heard good things about this book.

The book introduces three address code which is similar to ssa

Yea the authors of the book won a Turing award a few years ago.

I think you would have the knowledge to build a parser generator that then you can use to write a parser for json. But you can also also just learn how to use a parser generator. Y…

You can try this book if you want something that came out this year https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilatio... . Go to the releases to either get the racket ve…

But the dragon book introduces three address code. SSA is a variant of three address code. Take a look here http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~aho/cs4115/Lectures/15-03-25.htm... .

Hello, I have seen a lot of people on the internet say that the dragon book is horrible book to learn compilers from. well, I have read some of the second edition of the dragon boo…
