Writing a Book 

and he plays games some times

​dootie8285 In other words, you would have shipped braid 2 in unity in 18 months and wouldn't even consider doing anything remotely close to what Jon has been doing for the past 10 years, which is why you're not Jon Blow, and why Elon Musk is not Jon Blow either(what even is that comparison...) It should be terribly obvious I'm not onboard with your definition of productivity.

Is he being productive tho? This “game developer” hasn’t shipped a new game in like 8 years now. All this other stuff sounds like a distraction to me

@@magma5267 See, that's not true, as Braid launched this year. I also don't like that I can't get access to this stuff. I'm really interested in jai, but see, I've been a programmer for almost 9 years now, which is a lot of time, but jai still isn't out. My programming career might have been significantly different had he just released alpha openly.

@@magma5267 Meanwhile, this “youtube commenter” is very productive indeed.

Yeah, enabling validation layers in vulkan makes your program 15x slower (sometimes more) for example

I think it is more "Reading a Book" It is a bit like confusing "Writing a Game" with "Playing a Game"

@@____uncompetative Why do you say this? He's clearly writing out notes in preparation to write a book about compiler construction based on his experiences writing a compiler, for most of the video... Did you just see the thumbnail, which is someone else's book, and respond to that? I'm just confused where you're coming from.

@@dingolover6969I think people don’t tend to think too much before making comments, and I don’t blame them but don’t value their information at the same time. I agree with you, it seems they only looked at the thumbnail.

Me neither!

I don't think Jon's talking shit about Bob's book, he actually sais it's good enough as an introductory book and recognizes that Bob's using the same outline that he's planning for the first two parts of his future book.

_Engineering a Compiler_ by Cooper Torczon is good.

He'd be better off making a less janky _PUBG_ maybe mixed with _ARMAIII_ than this hyper dull block pushing game.
