I've been working on WhiteBox for a while now, this is the first public demonstration with commentary. There's also some info on https://t.co/icK0B2RGyA I'd really appreciate any feedback: - What would you like to see more of? - What features would you like WhiteBox to have?
The first devlog for WhiteBox is online! I give an intro to its core features: live reloading, compiling and running of code with automatic inspection of variables and return values. What info about your code would you like available as you write it? https://t.co/YXBHoU83rj

It's really quite sad to hear how @cmuratori had felt about Handmade Hero until recently. The series is directly responsible for enabling so many incredible programmers Making him appreciate the good he did with HMH is one of the many great feats pulled off by @BetterSoftwareC
If you want to know what is Handmade Hero, here is my discussion with its author, @cmuratori on Youtube! https://t.co/QzegMAlRXa

BSC was full of firsts for me. It was my first time in Sweden, my first time at a tech conference. But more importantly, it was the first time I found myself among such an incredible group of people, so brilliant, so funny, so creative, so passionate, so dedicated. It was truly

Ok, I should have known this was an overly optimistic time estimate... I'll probably be another 15-20 mins

I'm streaming some WhiteBox dev now! (@whitebox_sys) I'm going to add some new debugger features by JIT compiling into the user process. Jump in:

I've got an idea that I think should majorly speed up breakpoint recovery that I'll be trying out this week. All going well, this should mean dense inspections cause less slowdown. The effect should be particularly noticeable for multithreaded user code.

If you'd like to be able to use/inspect constants in your debugger...

AI-generated code is not used to build WhiteBox. You can rest easy, knowing that all our software is handcrafted by artisans using organic, grass-fed, free range bits.

I do one speaking engagement every year. For 2025, I will be traveling to Sweden for the inaugural Better Software Conference. This is the first time I'll be speaking in Europe, and I look forward to saying hello to folks whom I've so far only ever met on-line.

Know when the thing you're interested happens? Sample every time it does. Know where but not when it happens? Over-sample, then highlight whenever an expression is true. Found what you're looking for and don't need context? Filter what's visible to just what's relevant.

This trailer is just over 10 years old but it spawned a career for me and many others, as well as the many friends I made that I still have today. Thank you for everything you did, @cmuratori. https://t.co/r15C0i6rn1

One hour until the WhiteBox demo is presented at the Handmade Seattle conference. We're showing off how we use it to solve real-world bugs, making use of some new features that haven't been shown until now! You can watch it as it's livestreamed at
