in 1988 a physicist named Jack Crenshaw got tired of compiler books being impossible to read
so he wrote his own series on a BBS called Let's Build a Compiler
it starts with a parser that understands exactly one digit
then each installment adds one new idea until you end up with a real compiler
one small step at a time instead of 500 pages of theory first
very true. infra engineers will have generational run for years and beyond categories.
- model serving / inference infra
- gpu / distributed systems infra
- cloud + kubernetes + orchestration
- data infra
- eval + observability infra
- agent / runtime infra
i still think as ai advances there will be demand for areas which govern bottlenecks underneath like latency, throughput / cost / reliability / data quality and security.
The most intelligent men, like the strongest, find their happiness where others would find only disaster: in the labyrinth, in being hard with themselves and with others, in effort; their delight is in self-mastery; in them asceticism becomes second nature, a necessity, an instinct. They regard a difficult task as a privilege; it is to them a recreation to play with burdens that would crush all others.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
