Welcome to Confessions of a Code Addict, where deep dives into computer science meet real-world engineering insights. I'm Abhinav, a systems programmer, compiler enthusiast, and performance optimization nerd who loves exploring how things work under the hood.
This newsletter is for those who enjoy peeling back the layers of abstraction—whether it’s dissecting CPython’s internals, understanding how modern processors execute instructions, or writing a compiler from scratch. My approach is hands-on: I read source code, analyze assembly, and experiment with real-world benchmarks.
What You’ll Find Here:
Compilers, Interpreters, and VM Internals – Deep dives into language runtimes, optimizations, and low-level execution models.
Systems Programming & Performance – Understanding branch prediction, caching, memory allocators, and OS internals with practical examples.
Live Sessions & Hands-On Courses – Interactive deep dives into x86 assembly, Linux internals, and more, designed for those who want to learn by doing.
Unique Perspectives – I don’t just rehash textbooks; I explore ideas through real-world source code and share insights you won’t find elsewhere.
Most of my content is free, but if you’d like to support my work, paid subscribers get access to exclusive live sessions, discounts on in-depth PDFs, and direct Q&A discussions.
Join me in this journey of unraveling complex systems—one deep dive at a time.
