Hi! I am looking for a little input. The context is that I am trying to reduce the size of our arm64 (elf) executable. We can’t afford to lower the optimisation level due to performance targets, but we already do the following to keep exe sizes down: visibility=hidden We use a PGO profile ThinLTO data/function sections and gc-sections We don’t use RTTI/exceptions Enabled ICF in lld Is there something I am missing?

It's fair to say that the tech industry at the moment is not in a good place. Software engineers tend to be detached, demotivated and unwilling to care much about the work they're doing beyond their paycheck. Code quality is poor on the whole, made worse by the current spate of vibe coding and whatever other febrile ideas come out of Sam Altman's brain. Much of the software that we write is either useless or actively hurts people. And the talented, creative people that we most need in the ind...| deadSimpleTech

The Great Pyramids took decades to build. It was a monumental feat of human ingenuity and collaboration. Today, we software developers erect our own pyramids each day - not from stone, but from code. Yet despite far more advanced tools, these systems don’t always make the experience better.

In the 1950s and 1960s, there was an explosion of innovation in programming languages. Programmers went from programming in assembly language and machine code, to writing programs in higher-level, portable, languages. Pioneers like John Backus, Jean Sammet, and Grace Hopper had the foresight to see what is now common knowledge: software is at the core of technology, and improving the speed and cost of software development would accelerate the rise of computing, and rise of the world’s economy.| kiro.dev

Here’s a belief I’ve held for a while but only recently been able to put into words: explanatory comments are often easier to understand than explanatory variable or function names.

There are a couple of ways to solve this. We could break down the expression into sub-expressions, and assign those sub...| jonathan-frere.com
