Welcome to our chat on profilers! What's a sampling profiler and what's an instrumentation based profiler? Which one is better and when?

Dennis Gustafsson, the original author of RAD Telemetry profiler (!) and Ritesh Oedayrajsingh Varma, who is making Superluminal (!) have joined me to discuss these tools! Highly technical, in-depth discussion on profilers from the people closest to the matter! :)

Hey! Nuno Afonso is the sole author of Ark (https://ark-vcs.com) - VCS for games, or for any project that needs to handle binary files really :) I am quite happy that Nuno agreed to talk to me after a bit of hesitation at first! He's extremely fun to talk to, he knows lots of pain of AAA game industry with source control and he made Ark as a response!

He also made a live demo for us, right here in the episode!
