Like I did

code your own compiler and OS

Hope u guys dont mind if I flex here

@ManAnimal I will, 2-3 semesters later

on your own custom build hardware

like i did

Actually

I already built my own compiler

no, designed and built

But kernel programming is 2-3 sems later

Designed and built, yes

For a simple language ofc

so you used NAND and NOR gates?

?

lol

No, I compiled a mock language

I made the lexer and the parser

Imagine not building your own transistors

Also engineer of the people is best game

transistiors are what make up digital logic

No shit

@ManAnimal NAND2TETRIS?

You're a digital logic

na, ASIC design

Ah, cool. That's how I learned.

initially, we had to use NAND ICs to build op amps, then assemble them in to build a processor design. Moore Machine (sync), Mealy Machin (async) then microprocessor

THEN we were allowed to use the real thing: 80486 IC

@ManAnimal you're a transistor

now, you just plug in an FPGA and write the code. lol

Yep. That's about what I did: used NAND gates to create all others, use those to make more complex circuits all the way up to my own CPU and RAM.

but the power electronics would have been SO much easier with cool visualizationss

Imagine

Not carving it out with a laser by hand

Smh

Then build my own assembler for it, which I use to build my own compiler, which I used to program my own crap-tastic Tetris game.

Imagine
Not mining the gypsum and processing the silicon by hand.
smfh

I dunno why Sargon didnt use the spergs on this server to build Necromancer for cheap

yeah, we had to do that too. writting an assmbler makes you appreciate the shear waste in modern code

spergs don't have the discipline to build shit

Real men program their shit by holding a magnetic needle to their drives
