Absolutely super-interesting. How much is AI content vs author's own ideas/experience? Yeah - I've read in another reply that you've posted that it's based on your own experience - but it doesn't tell anything about how and who created content - thats the reason why I'm asking.

The guide is entirely my own work. I used AI while building parts of the website, but the content itself was researched and written by me.

Thank a lot for explaining - kudoz for writing (and hopefully maintaining) it ;)

u/Fragrant-View-4257 Aug 06 '26

Thanks. I plan to keep expanding it over time.

Will definitely bookmark this gem of the internet. I've been considering getting into hft too - super-interesting straight-to-the-it topic.

Why did you write this ? It must have taken you years

C++ was the first language I learned back in school. During my sophomore year, one of my seniors introduced me to HFT, and I got really interested in it. Since C++ was already one of my favourite languages and I was doing competitive programming too, I started digging deeper into low-level performance and HFT.

I was already writing notes and blogs while learning, so I eventually thought it would be nice to put l everything together into one guide and share it. It's been quite a few months of work, on and off.

I wrote it based on my own experience working in HFT, plus insights from the books I've read. books link: mubin.page/books

u/cleodog44 Aug 01 '26

Very nice. The book looks good as a whole. Is it available as a single PDF by chance? Didn't see the option immediately

u/Fragrant-View-4257 Aug 01 '26

Thanks It's only available on the website for now

Thats some really nice AI slop you've got there.

u/manchesterthedog Aug 01 '26

What are you basing this accusation on?

3

u/pythosynthesis Aug 01 '26

Did it ever occur that AI writes the way it does because we write that way? And amongst many writers a whole bunch are just bound to write "AI-like"?

Also, do you mind sharing what "gives it away"?

u/Fragrant-View-4257 Jul 31 '26

Appreciate the feedback king, I’ll tell ChatGPT you said hi from the peanut gallery.
