Live recording (Day 2) - Self-Directed Research Podcast | EuroRust 2025

Self-Directed Research Podcast: Live recording (Day 2) at EuroRust 2025 🦀

After two seasons of podcasting together on the Self-Directed Research Podcast, Amos has decided to test James' knowledge of obscure compiler optimizations, with a quiz where the audience could participate. Between trick questions and missed optimization opportunities, this quiz is as unfair as they come. But luckily, both James and the audience still have a good time.
