Resources to build a game engine from scratch?
I like this resource, it lists different starting spots based on skill level as well as different tracks (engine programming, AI, multiplayer, etc). https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer

Looking for career advice and what types of projects should I attempt?
https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer This has everything. Start reading if you want industry level knowledge. Courses wont get you to that level. Also while reading you can implement all of this!

A Study Path for Game Programmer

I've spent 5 years curating a gamedev resource mega-list, and now I've released it for free!
This collection was shared a lot in the past, still a good list of game programming related books: https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer (my favorites here are the Game Programming Gems and AI Game Programming Wisdom that I collected in the past).

It is possible the get into the game industry without any graduation or things like that?
I'm more into programming... At the moment I only have experience in web dev (html, css, js, react etc).. I'm starting to read some books from this guide https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer Also I watched some guide on YouTube on how to use UE5 and unity... Maybe in 1-2 year a can define myself as a (junior) game dev.. For the moment I'm just scratching the surface.. I made this post to understand if this effort will be repaid somehow...

Are there any resources that go through a published game's code and explain it's architecture in both, high and low level?
There are not that many, I learned a bit from books like Game Coding Complete and Game Engine Architecture. There are obviously others that are not that high level, they get more into real-time topics like rendering, AI behaviour/navigation, etc. (Books that appear in that list for example: https://github.com/miloyip/game-programmer)

C++ left arrow operator (2016)
Continuation passing monads form the basis of a perfectly valid and usable software architecture and programming pattern.
In the case of ostream and operator<<, this pattern reduces the number of intermediate objects that would otherwise be constructed.
If you object to iostream on religious or stylistic grounds, there's always fmt which is more like Go or Python string interpolation.[0]

Optimizing the unoptimizable: a journey to faster C++ compile times
Good catch, thanks! Fixed now. This explains why the difference was kinda low compared to another benchmark: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt?tab=readme-ov-file#compile-tim....

Learn Modern C++
> This is from C++23, right?
std::println is, yes.
> I wonder how available this is within compilers
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support says clang, gcc, and msvc all support it, though I don't know how recent those versions are off the top of my head.
In my understanding, with this specific feature, if you want a polyfill for older compilers, or to use some more cutting-edge features that haven't been standardized yet, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt is available to you.

For processing strings, streams in C++ can be slow
{fmt} has internal buffering but it's not yet exposed to users. There is a feature request for it: https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2354. FILE buffering is not too bad but it can be easily optimized: https://www.zverovich.net/2020/08/04/optimal-file-buffer-siz....

adoption of fmt based logging
Automatic use of operator<< when that exists was present in fmt until version 9.0.0. In version 9 you could use FMT_DEPRECATED_OSTREAM to opt in the old behaviour, but this too was removed in version 10.0.0. Now there is no way to automatically use operator<<.

What's your favorite c++20 feature that should've been there 10 years ago?
You can install it https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt

Codebases to read
Additionally, if you like low level stuff, check out libfmt (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt) - not a big project, not difficult to understand. Or something like simdjson (https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson).
