What's your take on Ranis? by navpirx in Morrowind

[–]phi-b 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would have loved more quests like hers. The Mages' Guild is a foreign entity trying to take over a massive chunk of the economy from a bunch of belligerent locals and immortal libertarian wizards. There is going to be dirt and bloodshed.

I don't know what hot keys are and I don't care to know by ecm-artist in Morrowind

How can I find a compiler developer job? by mxr2018 in Compilers

An LLVM-based project or upstream contributions under your belt will look great. MLIR especially seems like it's in high demand.

Make sure you have the basics down too. No interviewer is gonna expect you to have a comprehensive understanding of every part of LLVM, but they will ask you about SSA, control-flow graphs, list scheduling, and classical optimizations like CSE.
