In a previous post, Automatic Enum Stringification in C via Build-Time Code Generation, I described how to extract enum labels and values directly from DWARF debug information at build time. enum color { C_NONE, C_RED, C_YELLOW, C_GREEN } ; // Request enum descriptor for e_color ENUM_DESCRIBE(e_color, enum color) void foo(enum color c) { printf("Color=%s(%d)\n", ENUM_LABEL_OF(e_color, c), c)

When you have 5 unrelated questions, should you pack them into one message to the LLM, or send 5 requests simultaneously? Which is faster? Splitting into multiple independent parallel requests is almost always faster. This isn't a gut feeling — it's determined by the underlying inference mechanism of LLMs. Let's walk through the reasoning from first principles. To understand this problem, you firs
I am a first-year CS student and I recently made a decision that most people around me think is unnecessary — I am building a relational database storage engine from scratch in raw C++, with zero STL dependency. No std::vector. No std::string. No iostream. Nothing. The Problem With How I Was Learning For a long time I was writing code that worked but I had no idea why it worked. I used abstraction
