NCC, a new ANSI/ISO C compiler
While this is an impressive work, I feel that there are a lot of "tiny" C compilers out there; how is yours any different than SmallerC, TinyC, 8cc, chibicc and many others?

Compiler career advice?
Implement a compiler for a subset of C. This doesn't need to be self-hosting, but bonus points if it is. Here's an example of what it can look like: https://github.com/rui314/8cc
