Can you mention the link, reshabh mentioned something like below on 52:07 timestamp Cick plan long term membership

Hi Anand. Please check the following link for more details SIGPLAN-M mentoring program (www.sigplan.org/LongTermMentoring/)

Please provide some tutorials on LLVM architecture and LLVM components through a lightweight project. As an individual learner I get stuck. I have enough LLVM related knowledge like Pass, IR, PassManager, Pipeline and I am fluent in Modern C++. Tutorial may focus on using LLVM tools in projects that are not necessarily compiler projects. Like static analysis , liveness analysis not going into algorithm that much but mostly focusing on LLVM components that are being used. Algorithms can be learned taking help from eleewhere. Understanding of LLVM and its components so that I can use its components on needs basis in a project is where I need to grow.

@deathval3y There are different tutorials on how to use LLVM. You can check out this tutorial on how to build a compiler using MLIR and LLVM (including JIT) (kzbin.info/aero/PLlONLmJCfHTo9WYfsoQvwjsa5ZB6hjOG5). I hope this helps if not just let me know

[@ayoushbadyal4964]

since u guys are working in this field is a cs "degree" necessary, do they ask for getting into the role , i know skill matters but do they specifically shortlist guys on the basis of degree

[@llvmsocialbangalore6067]

Not necessarily, as long as you have the right set of skills (CS fundamentals like DS & Algo, Compilers etc). Atleast from what I have seen, you will not be rejected just because that you don't have a CS degree. They will look into your skills and experience

@@llvmsocialbangalore6067what is DS and Algo? I’m a data engineer trying to migrate into compiler engineering so I have the correct skills already to transfer? I’m specialized in python, sql, and big data. What would I need to learn?
