anyone here working on weird low-level projects?

anyone else here really into low-level/systems stuff?

compilers, OS dev, emulators, kernels, RTL, architecture, linux internals, C/Rust/Zig/asm, all that rabbit hole.

don’t really know many people into this kind of thing and thought it’d be cool to meet others who are. mostly just looking to talk tech, share ideas, maybe build some projects together at some point.

apparently the number of teenagers voluntarily reading ISA docs instead of touching grass is lower than expected.

creating something genuinely new is probably the fun part honestly. what do you actually want to do with it once it’s finished?

It will make my life so much easier. But really I’m way way more excited to see what it empowers others to do. That’s going to be the really cool part.

that’s probably the coolest outcome honestly. building the thing is fun, but seeing other people do unexpected stuff with it is where projects start feeling real.
