If you want to learn low-latency and high-performance programming, here’s what you should do to get started 👇
- pick a language that offers low-level primitives - C, Java, Golang
- explore the following paradigms
- concurrency
- system calls
- multi-core programming
- non-blocking IO
- write a lot, a lot, of code for manufactured scenarios
- write tests that ensure correctness
- benchmark under load and ensure it passes the correctness test
It is easy to write incorrect concurrent code and you’d feel like a genius thinking about the efficiency and speed. The tricky part is to write high-performant concurrent code and hence tests are super important.
if you are into engineering, you might find my YT interesting. currently, I am running a series on BitTorrent internals and will be diving deep into Choke Algorithm, Distributed Hash Tables, Piece Selection Algorithm, and much more.
