How Can I Start My Journey as a Low-Level Programmer or Systems Engineer?

It's great that you're diving into low-level programming! To really understand what's happening when you write code, learn about how C gets compiled into assembly and what heap and stack mean. It can feel overwhelming but take it step by step. There are tons of resources online, such as the GitHub link I shared for low-level programming. And don't hesitate to visualize these concepts; tools like DagFlo can really help crystallize your understanding.

You're on the right track with C! A big part of understanding low-level programming is knowing how memory works. Get familiar with concepts like stack vs. heap memory and pointers. The deeper your understanding of how memory is managed, the easier it will be to grasp the intricacies of C. Check out some online courses or resources to guide you further. Good luck!

I totally get where you're coming from! I've been into systems programming since college too. It's tricky to find jobs in this niche, but studying assembly and using reverse engineering tools can be beneficial. Focus on one area of low-level programming that excites you the most, whether it's OS, compilers, or something else. This can help you avoid spreading yourself too thin.
