hope you enjoy this article on lock free programming in rust.
I used humor and analogies in the article not just to be entertaining, but to make difficult concepts like memory ordering and atomics more approachable and memorable.
Did you get help from ChatGPT ooi? The humour sounds a bit like modern ChatGPT style but it’s uncanny valley.
at the very least that article was definitely edited with ChatGPT. i had someone on my team write “edgy” copy with ChatGPT last week and it sounded exactly the same. short paragraphs and overuse of bullet points are also a dead giveaway. i don’t think it’s super noticeable if you don’t use ChatGPT a lot but for the people that use these systems daily, it’s still very easy to spot.
my suggestion to OP: this was interesting material, ChatGPT made it had to read. use your own words to explain it. most people interested in this deeply technical content would rather read your prompt than the output.
i had help GPT help with some grammar, editing, and shortening.
The core ideas, jokes, code, and analogies are 100% mine.
Human chaos. Machine polish.
Interesting read, I enjoyed it and it answered a question that I didn't even realize I had been asking myself for years, which is how lock-free structures work.
Have you looked at CTries before? They're pretty interesting, and I think are probably the future of this space.
