Agree completely, this is a really well-written and informative article. Even more impressive is when you scroll to the bottom and notice this was written by a "17 year old student from Brighton who programs for a hobby."

I wish I had github when I was 17 year old, publishing all the codes you while learning to program is really great idea: https://github.com/0xbadb002

Wow this guy looks exactly like Jonathon Blow

I'm pretty sure the author means lldb?

I'm sure it's a good article and all that, but such a typo for a core tool in the beginning of an article kind of makes you lose confidence in the accuracy of what follows.

The author might want to fix things up :)

Ah yeah I meant that, I don't usually make typos so I'm not sure how that happened :-)
