does anybody know why there is a comma between the computer and enhance? Is it supposed to be like a command 😅? Like in the blade runner scene with the detective?

Hi Casey, thanks for this really looking forward to it. Do I have to keep up with the posts or can I do them at my own pace? And will this be a part of SCG?

You mention the course spanning multiple months, do you have an estimation of how many months it will take to complete and the post frequency per month ?

Can anyone explain to me what Casey means by 'The math is simple: the slower your software, the more server time (or servers in general) you have to buy.' If you have a server in the cloud( lets say a webserver with apache or any other web server framework) does it matter how many computation it does?

If the server servers requests to the users only problem would be that your software is slow and instead of serving more requests to more users, you have to upgrade you virtual machine hardware to keep up. Did I understand correctly?

Very excited for this, particularly because it seems to be a way to apply my interest in low-level programming to my day job, which is way more high level.

A question for you! Could the practices discussed in this course also be applied to improving the performance of database queries? (postgres and the like)

Thanks!

Thank you for starting the series.

Will I be able to follow the substantive content of the course using online tools like godbolt.org?
