It's extremely rare that I buy any books written after 2020. Not (just) because of AI, but because most publishers started to approach influencers that were not experts on their field to write books, hoping to piggyback…
Thanks for the kind words. I still want to record "Operating Systems" and "Algorithms & Data Structures" to finally complete the core CS areas. It's missing Networking but I don't know much about that topic anyways. I…
I left my fulltime faculty position at the university. I'm only teaching two modules this semester and I'll probably fade out even more in the future. I've also paused recording any new lectures at pikuma.com for now.…
If I look back, it was not even AI, since I don't use any AI model (almost at all). So, I don't think AI was really the main divisor for me. I have a feeling it was the "you don't own anything and everything is now a…
I stopped working as a programmer and I'm teaching CS+math and homeschooling my kid.
That's correct! Even though I have been focused more on math lately (which was always my main study area outside the tech industry). That being said, I have limited my internet usage to ~2 hours per day to answer…
Thank you for writing this. My feelings are very similar to the ones described by the author and the timeline almost matches. The thrill of tecnology for me started to fast decay since the early 2010s and now I see it…
Thanks for mentioning pikuma. :-) The 3D software rendering is still the most popular lecture from our school even after all these years. And it really surprises me because we "spend a lot of time" talking about some…

Gustavo here. Thank you for the mention!
That's right. :)

I also started teaching on Udemy in 2019 and even though the number of students was high, I quickly noticed that income was low and most enrolled students did not even start the courses they purchased (let alone…
Hi there. Gustavo Pezzi here! Thanks for the mention. I always add new stuff to the lectures and I'm happy to inform that about a year ago I have added a bonus lecture on fixed-point rasterization at the end of that…
I share the same feeling. Programming can be an entertaining and joyful activity where enthusiasts don't really need to worry about creating something useful that will be shared with others. It's like cooking a…
Author here! I remember struggling with the decision of adding that last sentence or not. But at the end I was sure most readers would get that it is obviously a joke. Maybe a bad one but still a joke.
Lua's LPeg library would also be a great option here. A couple of years ago I taught an interpreters class together with Roberto Ierusalimschy and we used LPeg for lexing and parsing. The end result was great. Even if…
Hey there. Thanks for the mention and for the kind words.
Hi there. I'm glad you enjoyed the NES module. :)
My pleasure! :)
I personally never thought academic papers were about the author. They might have turned into an ego game, but I always assumed that the goal of academic writing was to effectively communicate complex ideas and research…
This is precisely why I am suspicious of most "free" online resources out there. When one writes to establish themselves as a credible source or as authority on a subject, they are flipping the target of the writing.…
As someone who has been teaching assembly to undergrads for many years, I have a couple of things to say about this. First of all, I agree. The 6502 is great for beginners but that is not just merit of the 6502 language…
Hi there. Thanks for the mention. I'm glad it was helpful. :)
Lua is a great language for extending systems and very high-level scripting. I like it. I had the pleasure of teaching a module in 2020 together with Roberto Ierusalimschy where we used Lua and LPeg to teach students…
