explaining some C macro magic
// so a cool trick with macros in C (and C++) is that since macros inside of
// macros are stille evaluated by the preprocessor, you can use macro names as
// parameters to other macros (and even construct macro names out of out of
// parameters!) - so using this trick if we have some macro like
// this:
#include <stddef.h>
#define MY_TYPES_ITER(_F, ...) \
_F(FOO, foo, 0, __VA_ARGS__) \

Things to commit just before leaving your job
// Just before switching jobs:
// Add one of these.
// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.
//
// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.
