"I hate to say it, but doing great at all of these things is 
"table stakes." Back in the mid-2000s, we had to write everything 
by hand. Thankfully, these days you can get an awesome 
off-the-shelf optimizing compiler like LLVM that has most of 
these things already battle tested, ready to go, and ready for 
you to help improve."
