Mostly me exploring how to build a Treiber Stack (first in Go, then in C++) -> Figuring out ABA and Use-After-Free in the C++ implementation, and then touching a bit of Hazard Pointers, and ending with a benchmark comparison b/w a mutex and a lock-free version of the stack. LLMs are a great tool at teaching and explaining. I don't use it to generate code, but it takes away the pain of searching and setting up dependencies, tools, etc. So I can focus only on the concepts and then do the testing. It is not perfect, but I learned something that I did not know thanks to these techniques. And that too without reading dense and obscure books. I love it.
