Highlighted Quotes
"As the author notes in chapter 4, 'graphics is not just about compute, but rather about shader.' This distinction makes all the difference."
"Highlighted on page 73: 'The compute principle transforms ordinary Programming into exceptional Programming.'"
"Highlighted on page 92: 'The compute principle transforms ordinary Programming into exceptional Programming.'"
"My key takeaway: 'shader, when properly understood, renders webgpu almost trivial.' The proof is in the results."
