What every compiler writer should know about programmers (2015) [pdf]
I&#x27;m tempted to write a &quot;what every programmer should know about compiler writing&quot; article. In particular, that they&#x27;re not alone in the universe. The price that you have to pay for the incredible combo &quot;performance + portability&quot; is undefined behavior. 
Why do people assume that if they don&#x27;t care about some sorts of portability and exotic platforms, nobody else does?
