Not once did an IDE make me program faster. Only being able to auto complete code with an IDE sound like a skill issue to me. Also I never found an ide even working well on the million lines code base of the Linux kernel or Firefox. VScode is based in a web browser. Of course it is 100x slower than IDEs used to be.

This is a really amazing video, thanks for sharing. I am a developer and have been feeling really overwhelmed lately, this inspires me to keep learning and growing. Cheers!
heya, CS major here from US. I am somewhat familiar with only few things you used here, so it was very interesting throughout. I hope you plan on making a video like this again eventually. You just singlehandedly restructured and resurrected a decade old skeleton of a driver from a random person, and it works, and within 3 hours. I wouldn't be shocked if you were also a teacher
He's the best programmer/coder in the world. No one matches him-I couldn't find anyone who writes better code. Will I ever beat this guy at programming? I have no idea. I keep my hope ongoing.
That font's purpose is to be readable, It helps dyslexic people alot. No matter how much people hate on fonts like Comic Sans, but those fonts complete their task of being easily readable.
Interesting video. 25 years ago I tried to start writing a driver for some USB-DVB-S device (edit: it was an internal PCI DVB-S-card) for BeOS (these were the times when I was still watching TV), thinking "I don't know at all what I'm doing, but maybe I'll get somewhere if I just start doing it". I maybe got some little thing working, but it never went anywhere. Driver development is something else...
39:40 I like the way these kernel guys use the goto keyword in their code without fear, while we mortal backend developers would get shot on site in the first code review. "-Bad practice", the shooter would say...
As you probably know C doesn't have a concept of RAII so you have to manually clean up resources you allocate and create, and just using goto to jump to a common exit block is just an easy way to not forget to clean up after yourself. It is probably much more important in the kernel (i might be wrong) since none of these resources will be auto cleaned up (again, might be wrong about this) by the kernel like they are when your user space process terminates.
I used it in a C university assignment once. We were told goto is not a good practice, but it has its uses. Some modern languages now have the option to specify which loop you want to 'break' out of or 'continue' in. In C, you can define labels and jump to the points you wish, which lets you achieve the same result. It shouldn't be feared to the point that languages omit it entirely, it definitely has its uses.
This is how I feel when i can run Terraform to setup my entire cloud infrastructure on AWS including running my Linux shell scripts for Docker/Kubernetes without crashing or any errors lol. But your skills are orders of magnitude better haha. This is awesome my good sir.

Finally youtube recommended your channel! Good to see the numbers getting higher! Nice René
As a developer myself watching someone writing drivers is like god creating the universe.
Any dev in some point just dream about having this kind of job in some future🤙
If you are willing to put on the time and effort, also expect that it's going to be a very challenging path. This is the line of work where very few get the job.
Writing a USB driver is your dream! 😂
That's the sound of a Nothing Phone... I love it xD
And amazing work, calling that a speed run is insane
You’re such an inspiration to me, seeing professionals like you fires me up so much. You make me love programming even more than I already do:D Thank you
Thank you, too! 🖖
we are ants, comparing to this mammoth .
God level skills .
legend!
I love youtube man,makes me able to watch very talented people like this gentleman.(I barely know anything of programming)
Since I'm a Biomedical Engineer, I haven't even programmed with something that is not Python or Matlab. Haven't understood a single thing and I don't know what am I doing here. But this man gives me inner peace.
I do not understand a single thing but it's quite interesting to see someone really mastered at this topic.
Can't get enough of these videos. They're so well-made and informative.
This guy's skill is absolutely insane. And to think I have the gall to call myself a software developer...
I have no idea what he is doing and I cannot understand a word he is saying. But yesterday the algorithm showed this to me and I found it amusing. I watched about 15 minutes of it. It gave me nightmares at night.
I always say if I ever have the opportunity to do it from scratch I would surely become a software engineer this job is in my soul.
So einen Lehrer wie dich müsste man haben, da könnte man unglaubliche Fortschritte machen. Find dein Skillset so mega.
respect dude .. I'm a delevoper for 24 years, actualy matching old Delphi 5 Pascal Code together with C# to get they run the system with webservices in a company .. not to compare with youre work in the video .. but it's a good job to keep the system alive and to benefit from it from both sides .. Viele Grüße 🙂
Danke, schönen Abend !
@@renerebe Danke, ebenfalls 🙂
This guy is proof we ve been invaded by aliens.
Really enjoy Rene's videos! Im a total amateur but I find incredible educational value in them. Much love and respect from Bulgaria!
This is how real men write code.
And the comic font makes it look even more hand-written.
I miss my coding years in the '80s-'90s
nothing less real about using modern tools. shits toxic as fuck.
What is stupid and toxic? Modern IDEs that are huge and dog slow and don't even work over SSH ?
@@renerebe they're not dog slow, sounds like a skill issue. even if they were, the productivity speedups over this nonsense almost certainly sum significantly net positive. and they can absolutely work over SSH. sounds like you have no clue what you're talking about and you're doing this for style points and you've fooled enough people so why let me bother you?
Not once did an IDE make me program faster. Only being able to auto complete code with an IDE sound like a skill issue to me. Also I never found an ide even working well on the million lines code base of the Linux kernel or Firefox. VScode is based in a web browser. Of course it is 100x slower than IDEs used to be.
@@renerebe I can load the linux kernel codebase in vscode with absolutely no issues whatsoever. stop hacking on a dell from 1996? mate, it's one thing to have an opinion. it's another to just be bullshitting. use whatever tools you want, but don't bullshit.
I don't understand most of what he says but I enjoy and appreciate his passion, skills and willingness to explain this heavy tech stuff! Legend
This is a really amazing video, thanks for sharing. I am a developer and have been feeling really overwhelmed lately, this inspires me to keep learning and growing. Cheers!
Thank you 🖖
He is the real life hacker guy who appears in every movie
I love how this guy is single handedly just shattering every developer under this video's ego.
heya, CS major here from US. I am somewhat familiar with only few things you used here, so it was very interesting throughout. I hope you plan on making a video like this again eventually.
You just singlehandedly restructured and resurrected a decade old skeleton of a driver from a random person, and it works, and within 3 hours. I wouldn't be shocked if you were also a teacher
He's the best programmer/coder in the world. No one matches him-I couldn't find anyone who writes better code. Will I ever beat this guy at programming? I have no idea. I keep my hope ongoing.
Amazing, you've just convinced me that why i should start learning C now
this font is a crime
lol
That font's purpose is to be readable, It helps dyslexic people alot.
No matter how much people hate on fonts like Comic Sans, but those fonts complete their task of being easily readable.
It started as a joke, and I unexpectedly liked it.
@@renerebe do u know any usb pcie cards that are linux compatible?
Don't most if not all just work?
you made that tiny shot of coffee last 3h, impressive. i suspect you coded the heart reaction to be automated on our comments too :)
It's 9:23pm on a new years eve and I'm watching this. Thanks life.
It's midnight. Happy New Year. 🎉
Sounds about allright ;-) Wishing everyone a Happy New Year 2025 filled with happiness, health, and success! 🎉✨🎆🎇🥂🖖
Everytime he says to my surprise. i think, how is someone this brilliant surprised by anything.
i have zero idea what’s going on, but from the comments i can tell this man is on another level
Thanks! I hope you enjoy and learn something 🖖
Interesting video. 25 years ago I tried to start writing a driver for some USB-DVB-S device (edit: it was an internal PCI DVB-S-card) for BeOS (these were the times when I was still watching TV), thinking "I don't know at all what I'm doing, but maybe I'll get somewhere if I just start doing it". I maybe got some little thing working, but it never went anywhere. Driver development is something else...
Bro's talking pure sorcery, this is madness!!!
39:40 I like the way these kernel guys use the goto keyword in their code without fear, while we mortal backend developers would get shot on site in the first code review. "-Bad practice", the shooter would say...
As you probably know C doesn't have a concept of RAII so you have to manually clean up resources you allocate and create, and just using goto to jump to a common exit block is just an easy way to not forget to clean up after yourself. It is probably much more important in the kernel (i might be wrong) since none of these resources will be auto cleaned up (again, might be wrong about this) by the kernel like they are when your user space process terminates.
yeah I've seen my professor use goto to jump forward to cleanup code
Yeah even Torvalds says it’s common kernel practice
I used it in a C university assignment once. We were told goto is not a good practice, but it has its uses.
Some modern languages now have the option to specify which loop you want to 'break' out of or 'continue' in.
In C, you can define labels and jump to the points you wish, which lets you achieve the same result.
It shouldn't be feared to the point that languages omit it entirely, it definitely has its uses.
I tell my professor to f off.
We appreciate people with your level of talent & your opensource contributions!
This is how I feel when i can run Terraform to setup my entire cloud infrastructure on AWS including running my Linux shell scripts for Docker/Kubernetes without crashing or any errors lol.
But your skills are orders of magnitude better haha. This is awesome my good sir.
