My favorite class in college was computer graphics, but we only learned CPU-based rendering. It was fun, but I always wondered, “what if” we'd learned a “modern” graphics API like OpenGL? Now diving into it on my own, and it makes me think how different things would be. 🤔 #computergraphics #OpenGL

My cross-compilation journey today: 📈➡️📉➡️📈. Started with CMake & vcpkg, hit a Massive wall, then realized separate compiler environments are key. But hey, now I have a cross-platform OpenGL window! 🥳 #CMake #vcpkg #crosscompilation #OpenGL #cpp #devlife

Spent the weekend wrestling with CMake's “Getting Started”… and I might still use my IDE 😅. But now I actually understand what's going on behind those dropdown menus! #CMake #cpp #IDE

Thinking about Linux for my dev machine (again 😬), but Visual Studio for C++ & game dev is a big consideration. Want to work in the game industry, and worried about missing out on essential experience 🚧. #Linux #VisualStudio #gamedev

🚀 Tried to go pure JavaScript for a project and failed spectacularly! 😅 So used to types that even JSDoc couldn't save me. Back to TypeScript I go! #JavaScript #TypeScript

Why do job postings ask for Visual Studio expertise? 🤔
I'm learning CMake and it's so straightforward, feels familiar, like setting up a JavaScript build system.

After a long time; finding some spare time it's really complicated nowadays; I finished “Beginning C++ Through Game Programming”, it really helped me to refresh my knowledge, good examples and tips.

Time to pick the next challenge for the Roadmap.

A guy called at 1 a.m. to my house, looking for his "love", poor guy they gave him the wrong number 😞

Outside #js for work and #cpp for my spare time, the other language that has grown on me, is #golang, I enjoy learning it, I hope I can use it at work at some point...

At work, I use JavaScript to try to create a game engine on the web, and in my free time, I try to master C++, it is strange...
