This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Compilation runs in stages — a front end deconstructing source, a middle end optimizing execution time and memory, a back end generating code — a symbol table tracking identifiers throughout.
Show
A freight run of intake, repacking for efficiency, and final delivery mirrors the pipeline.
Watch for
Optimization is a stage with a budget, not magic.
