This month I consumed some podcasts and Youtube videos related to programming. Here are my favourites:
Listening to Tim Sweeney: Fortnite, Unreal Engine, and the Future of Gaming | Lex Fridman Podcast #467 made me want to get into 3D graphics programming. One project I have in mind, that I have thought about before, is building a ray tracer.
I found the history lesson of the UNIX editor ed in The little editor that could
interesting.
I got inspired when listening to John Carmack: Doom, Quake, VR, AGI, Programming, Video Games, and Rockets | Lex Fridman Podcast #309. Carmack has been part of creating some amazing things with the use of programming. It inspired me to do the same.
I listened to Bjarne Stroustrup: C++ | Lex Fridman Podcast #48 because I enjoyed a previous Lex podcast, and I needed something to entertain me during a long drive. C++ is a language that I have actively avoided. After this podcast, I appreciate it a bit more.
I also started working on a new blog. You can browse my posts/notes for this month at blog.rickardlindberg.me/2025/05.
