Personal blog · caiustheory.comprogrammingsystems
Caius Theory is a personal blog at caiustheory.com about programming and systems. Since 2011, 9 different Hacker News readers have linked it 14 times. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-06-30, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Caius Theory for a guide to installing a "real" GCC on macOS with Xcode and Homebrew. The only other link is a bare homepage link in a thread asking for personal blogs.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Now with even more cowbell…
