This is a very cool talk by Nicholas Matsakis about editor-friendly compiler architecture: youtube.com/watch?v=N6b44kMS6OM

At the risk of asking a very strange question, does anyone know of a WRITTEN source that has similar information?

I am sorry, but I can read about three thousand times faster than I can watch a video. Videos for me are like looking for needles in haystacks...

@jonmsterling Have you ever tried setting the playback speed to 1.5x or 2x? I find this to be a good enough solution sometimes.

@Convention_T @jonmsterling that's a difference between speeding up your HDD twice and using an SSD. Seek time is the biggest bottleneck, I relate with Jon heavily as I can find relevant information in a page of text I can see at once, in a video I have to jump around and hope.

Speeding up playback helps, it's better than nothing, but a video is still horribly inefficient as a medium for passing information to someone capable of moderately fast reading, not to mention someone with ADHD lol

Except screen-cast, where you progress in linear fashion or you speed forward or backward knowing what you need is there.
