Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

We have used too many levels of abstractions and now the future looks bleak
Agreed!
It reminds me of:
https://github.com/alex/what-happens-when
and how many of today’s CS-degree holders would barely understand any of it. As someone who has also “grown up with all the technology”, I’ve learned and experienced all that. But as a percentage of “software engineers”, there’s fewer and fewer that do every day.

I just blew my interview!
There is a pretty comprehensive answer to number 2 here
-
Are you skeptical about candidates that call themselves a "10x engineer"?
Ask them to describe what happens when you visit a website and grill them on every layer of abstraction, every implementation detail.

You and me Anon, you and me
This is a classic interview question and it basically means "How does internet work?" It is great because it allows to check how many levels of understanding it a developer has. The answer may be quite lengthy, for example: https://github.com/alex/what-happens-when
- Any course that actually teaches me how a website is built?

I have a question about subdomains and their DNS resolution
Perhaps you will find https://github.com/alex/what-happens-when useful.

Essentials-of-Compilation

Request for comments on my toy lisp implementation.
if you like compilers you should this book out https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilation.

Essentials of compilation by Dr. Siek. There’s a GitHub repo. Just navigate to the releases and you will find a pdf https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilation/releases/tag/python-MIT-press. This book is really good and it’s practical. There’s a lot of code and it guides you along the way. So it’s a great book to self study. To supplement this you can buy Engineering a Compiler by cooper. This is more comprehensive but there’s no code in this book, only pseudo code. Start with essentials of compilation my friend. It will teach you everything you need.

The dragon compiler book (2nd edition) is a great book
You can try this book if you want something that came out this year https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilatio.... Go to the releases to either get the racket version or python version. But I mean cmu uses the dragon book second edition for a graduate level compiler optimization class.

Why Learn Compilers
This paper is my favorite introduction to compilers, it's short and hands-on: http://scheme2006.cs.uchicago.edu/11-ghuloum.pdf
There is a book-length expansion of this paper that goes into more detail: https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilatio...

A Normal Form transformation of syntax tree
This compiler book explains monadic normal form which it’s anf but not 100 percent because of the difference in how let expressions are represented. https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilation

As a self taught developer how should I go about getting a job?
I learned to write compilers by reading "Essentials of Compilation." You can find a free pdf in the book's repo https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilation/releases/tag/python-MIT-press. The book is published my MIT Press although right now the racket version is out. the python version is coming out soon. the link that I just shared is for the python version. This is a great book . I recommend it

Hey guys, have any of you tried creating your own language using Python? I'm interested in giving it a shot and was wondering if anyone has any tips or resources to recommend. Thanks in advance!
One of the best (free/open source) books for learning how to write a compiler is Essentials of Compilation. It comes in two flavors: Racket and Python. I'm less familiar with the Python version, but it might be what you're looking for.

Best book on writing an optimizing compiler (inlining, types, abstract interpretation)?
Not sure about specifics, but maybe https://github.com/IUCompilerCourse/Essentials-of-Compilation is worth a look?
