What to Learn to Be a Graphics Programmer
Key takeaways
- I get asked fairly often what people need to know to be hireable as a graphics programmer.
- I think ML as it is right now won t live up to the hype, and the pendulum will swing away from ML a bit over the next couple years.
- Modern rendering is sort of like two jobs in one.

We are in a strange time with LLMs. I think ML as it is right now won t live up to the hype, and the pendulum will swing away from ML a bit over the next couple years. I think the grifters will move onto quantum computing next or find some other thing to pump and dump. However, ML itself does have a place in the computer science tool box, so learning about the fitting and optimization techniques it offers is valuable IMO. I made a video you can watch to learn about the bare metal bits, but it s up to you if you think it s worth while to learn or not.Machine Learning For Game Developershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTAqWRsEiy0
