TL;DR
C++ coroutines bring a smarter way to write async code by letting functions pause and resume naturally, so your logic stays clean while handling thousands of tasks efficiently. Instead of messy callbacks or heavy threads, you get code that reads simple but performs like a powerhouse.
They’re not the easiest to learn and the tooling is still evolving, but for high performance use cases like…

How to get a job as a game developer in 2025 – Part 2: Insider advice from a studio game director
June 25, 2025
Last time, we shared some general tips about what skills and tools you need to get a job as a game developer in 2025. However, the game development industry is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field. It’s characterized by technological advancements and continuous innovation…
TL;DR
Pattern matching, widely used in functional languages like Rust and Haskell, is gaining attention in C++ as a way to write cleaner, more expressive, and safer code by combining conditionals, type checks, and data destructuring into a single construct. While C++ doesn’t yet have native support, developers rely on tools like std::variant, std::visit, and libraries like Mach7 to replicate it…
TL;DR
Becoming a game developer in 2025 requires more than just passion; it demands strong programming skills, practical experience, and a clear focus on your role within the industry. With high competition and evolving industry demands, developers must stand out through…
If you’re a developer working in Visual Studio, chances are you’ve hit a few bumps in the road—slow load times, clunky navigation, unreliable IntelliSense, and the occasional “Where did that file go?” moment. These common pain points can quickly add up…
TL;DR
C++ Modules, introduced in C++20 and expanded in C++23, aim to replace the traditional #include a system with a more efficient and structured approach. By compiling code once and importing it where needed, modules reduce redundant parsing, improve build times, and create cleaner, more maintainable dependencies especially in large-scale projects.
However, despite these advantages, adoption in…

CUDA lets you harness your GPU’s full power to handle massive tasks faster than traditional CPUs by running thousands of operations at once — a game changer for AI, data science, finance, and more, but comes with a learning curve due to parallel programming and…
How to Query File Attributes 50x faster on Windows
November 14, 2024
Imagine you’re developing a tool that needs to scan for file changes across thousands of project files. Retrieving file attributes efficiently becomes critical for such scenarios. In this article, I’ll demonstrate a technique to get file attributes that can…
TL;DR
In Unreal Engine, Blueprints and C++ aren’t competitors, they’re complementary tools. Blueprints offer a visual, beginner-friendly way to build gameplay quickly, making them ideal for prototyping, simple logic, and collaboration with non-programmers. C++, on the other hand, provides greater performance, flexibility, and low-level control, making it essential for complex systems and…
