I found that book to be basically useless as a passive reader.

She basically writes "do this" and you are supposed to do it.

This course is much more valuable because it actually gives a lot of information.

It really feels like most text books on compilers have massive "black hole" sections that pull you in on the technicals that you are not even supposed to use in the end.

I found that his course and the LLVM book by Quentin Colombet really useful because they both give easy to understand information that seems to be actually used in real large systems like LLVM/gcc etc.

There are also book like SSA-based compiler design that seem to be great but I am not able to read because of lacking prior knowledge.

Also thank you to Adrian if he is reading this, he is an amazing teacher and releasing this content is much appreciated
