Career 1st. Discovering a potential code gen bug on C++ @VisualStudio compiler... ... While doing a take-home exercise for an interview. (Details TBD since I have to coordinate releasing the code to the public with the interviewer)

From the perspective of deduplicating codepaths, it’s a compression problem—if you compress too early, you get bad compression, because good compression requires more information about the entire dataset. So you can’t deduplicate too early.

So. I'm reading a book about game audio and bump into this quote: ...@JonMikeHolmes, a former colleague now at @RareLtd , ... reminded me of a tip I gave him: “When streaming, it’s always better to suck than to blow.” I was given that same quote from the man himself :)
