It’s been over a year since I updated my blog; and I’ve been making some pretty fundamental changes to the infrastructure I host it all on. So this is more of a test post than a hugely informative one.
That said; the reason I’be been making those changes is because, a couple of weeks ago I formed “Compiler Explorer LLC” as an Illinois-based corporation.
Does this mean Compiler Explorer is going to be a business now?!
Today is Compiler Explorer’s 10th Birthday:

Initial import of GCC-Explorer
Ten years ago I got permission to open source a little tool called GCC Explorer. I’d developed it over a week or so of spare time at my then-employer DRW in node.js, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Like so many, I started a podcast – Two’s Complement – during the pandemic, with my good friend and colleague Ben Rady.
Some folks asked how we made it sound so “professional”, and so I’m sharing here how we do it.
Most importantly: get everyone to record their audio locally. Audacity is free and works perfectly for this. Make sure you test that you can’t hear each other’s sound in the mix. Start recording, make sure the right microphone is in use by tapping it and observing the wiggly lines and then get others to make noise and ensure you hear them but don’t see the wiggly lines on your side.
