ABOUT ME
I write web games and other things. Black lives matter.
I write web games and other things. Black lives matter.

I'm Eli Dupree! I've been programming ever since I was a kid, and I love sharing my knowledge with other people.

I especially like giving my mentees the full picture of how things work. If you want to know not just WHAT to do, but also how it works, and why it works that way, we'll be a great match.

My favorite programming language. For my personal projects, I moved from C++ to Rust shortly after the release of Rust 1.4. – Built a web game, The Path, combining Rust and JavaScript using the stdweb library and emscripten – Built a system for procedurally generating music – Currently building TimeSteward, a game/simulation backend that automatically supports lockstep multiplayer with reliable synchronization, and other features (14,000 lines of Rust code) – Currently building a web app for synthesizing sound effects for game jammers – I can make lifetimes make sense

A great language for writing scripts that just get things done, without having to worry about technical rigor as much. My whole website is written in Python (or rather, it's a Python script that generates HTML/CSS/JavaScript files).

– Used C++ for my game projects for years. – Familiar with STL structures and algorithms, and which ones to use in which circumstances. – Done a lot of profiling and debugging, extreme template shenanigans (for when you need your type system to be NP-complete…) – Familiar with modern features up through C++14.

Eli is my go-to mentor for Python programming. Eli has an amazing ability to grasp the essence of the problem, break it down, and then rebuild from first principles. I'm learning so much by working with Eli.

Eli is a great mentor and time spent with Eli is so productive and generates more research and valuable learning to do in one's own time. Debugging is quick, efficient, and accurate. What would take me hours can literally be done in a few minutes of Eli's time.

In the debugging process, Eli demonstrates how to break an error condition down and then rebuild the code back up successfully. This approach has been beneficial in helping me to tackle similar coding issues that I encounter.

Eli is quite literally a wizard and helped me to think through some seriously complex Rust problems

Eli's approach is to "trust the code" and read (and act!) on any error messages that your code gives back to you - these are vital clues to help solve your problem. Eli teaches you to how to use these clues to debug your code quickly and efficiently.
