       | Matt Godbolt is a gem! If you haven't checked out his podcast[0]
       | with Ben Rady, it's one of my personal favorites. It's not
       | specifically tied to C++, but it's a lot of fun to hear two hosts
       | who love thinking about programming.

       | It's just great and extremely useful:)! Thanks for it

       | As one of those people who also uses "godbolt" as a verb, I am
       | very grateful for the time Matt and the other contributors are
       | pouring into CE. It's awesome to see this project flourish!

       | be saving these up for any dark moments! Thanks all!

       | "Just godbolt it" has indeed become a phrase in my circle.
       | Compiler explorer is a great reminder that sometimes it is indeed
       | about the UX for system tools that allows you to make a huge
       | impact

       | One of my favorite moments at work was coming back to see half
       | the team gathered around one computer, chuckling to each other.
       | 
       | The guy at the keyboard said "now watch this!", hit a few keys,
       | and the team erupted in raucous laughter.
       | 
       | I went over to see what they were looking at. It was an assembly
       | listing from Compiler Explorer.

       | Congratulations! Compiler Explorer has been immensely useful to
       | me over the years. I often use it to reassure myself that simple
       | code optimizes as expected (so manual optimization would not just
       | be premature, but pointless). It inspired me to build a similar
       | tool at work for FIDL:
       | https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/fidlbolt/+/refs/heads/main. I
       | believe your last name has become a noun too -- I sometimes
       | forget it's called Compiler Explorer since everyone I know just
       | calls it Godbolt.

       | I'm training a new hire in C++ at the moment. I always go to
       | compiler explorer when I break out a new concept for him. We can
       | workshop the problem in isolation quickly and simply and then
       | bookmark the solution for him to use as reference later. For this
       | purpose it is just a few steps simpler than GIT + CMAKE +
       | TERMINAL

         | they use C++ (bank), do you have any tips/resources?

       | Ah, so Godbolt is some guy's last name? That's really cool.
