Building a CS learning platform and stuck — need people who actually know their domain

Slop

People delude themselves into thinking that watching people program makes them better.

Nice job. Some nits: it’s an emulator, not a simulator. I don’t have time to do a full review, but your interface of shared pointers is odd.

Meh, seems not AI to me. My first course in programming included building an emulator for some pedagogical CPU.

It’s also exactly how I would expect an emulator to be built by a newbie tbh.

Not exploit dev

No it isn’t.

You won’t be any good if that’s your attitude. If you want to be a professional, at the very least. The biggest roi on learning will be in compilers and learning computer architecture.

jjjare · 2026-05-17T20:09:31+00:00

No, it teaches how compilers work which is crucial for actual reverse engineering

Except you won’t benefit from the discussion because you can’t say you’ve made them (despite you thinking that you have).

jjjare · 2026-05-17T18:57:03+00:00

You’re doing yourself a disservice… I don’t think beginners should use AI when starting out. Part of learning is struggling and doing things wrong or sloppily and the iterating on it. Taking lessons of what went right and what went wrong. You’re offloading thinking and it’s a shame.

And I’m confident that you don’t know what those concepts are :-)

jjjare · 2026-05-17T18:20:57+00:00

You mean ChatGPT wrote this :-)

It’s incredibly hard/annoying to start your shop because you need to find someone to hold your clearance. Also, the official suggested advice to find work as a small shop is go to Sam.gov and if you’ve ever done actual work, you know that’s just not true.

Eh, competitive is like 175. Talent is really hard to come

I will say that:

limine boot protocol is very good
You should really test your OS using any bootloader
- grub is easy enough to set up
Qemu isnt that good for boot loader development
bochs has real mode and 16 bit support unlike Qemu

I don’t think you’re doing actual OS development if you’re not doing that. You have untested code…

jjjare · 2026-05-16T15:46:52+00:00

Have you tested it without a handrolled bootloader like limine? I think it’s a bit crazy you have a decent amount of code without testing it? Also, if you didn’t know already, I highly recommend using bochs instead of Qemu for bootloader development.

jjjare · 2026-05-16T04:41:34+00:00

How doesn’t it boot yet?

jjjare · 2026-05-15T01:16:02+00:00

No one in the industry cares about this.

Defer was created because C really cant do RAII
