Episode: Custom Virtual Thread Schedulers, CPU Cache Optimization and Work Stealing
Description: An airhacks.fm conversation with Francesco Nigro (@forked_franz) about:
break dancing and basketball including meeting Kobe Bryant in Italy during a dunk competition,
using AI coding assistants like Claude Opus 4.5 and GitHub bots for infrastructure setup and CI/CD pipeline configuration,
limitations of LLMs for novel performance-sensitive algorithmic work where training data is scarce,
branchless IPv4 parsing optimization as a Christmas coding challenge,
CPU branch misprediction costs when parsing variable-length IP address octets,
converting branching logic into mathematical operations using bit tricks for better CPU pipeline utilization,
LLMs excelling at generating enterprise code based on well-documented standards and conventions,
