> These talks are a little skewed to the game/high performance programming side of the art, but still very interesting in general.
I get the chance to interact with a pretty wide range of software engineers, the thing that constantly blows people's minds is how caches work and the fact that there's 10-50x performance waiting for you if know about it(and have the time to exploit it).
It's almost like they don't teach it in school or something, I agree there's a lot of gamedev/perf stuff but that lines up with my experience of things that change the way people approach programming.
