What It Is

kangz.net is an independent technical blog run by solo developer Corentin. Its content focuses on C++ development, code generation practices, graphics API design analysis, and game engine refactoring. All content is drawn from the author's hands-on experience working on open-source game engine development, and it shares on-the-ground development experience specifically for mid-to-senior developers.

Core Features & Content

The blog centers on publishing in-depth technical articles, with all currently visible content covering three core focus areas:

1. The design and implementation of code generators for C++ projects: it shares a complete workflow for building reusable code generators based on Jinja2 templates, and also explains how to smoothly integrate the code generation process into the CMake build system.
2. Graphics API design analysis: it traces and breaks down the design history and legacy design issues of OpenGL, and analyzes the origins of legacy patterns like bind-to-edit.
3. Modernization refactoring experience for the open-source game engine Dæmon: it shares the practical process of file system refactoring and architecture upgrades.

All articles come with complete, reusable code examples, making the blog extremely practical for hands-on work.

Pros & Cons

Pros: All content is built entirely on the author's first-hand development experience, with no empty theoretical talk. It provides actionable solutions for many niche pain points, code examples can be reused directly, and it offers huge reference value for developers working in related fields. All content is completely free and open to access, no registration or login required.
Cons: The blog has no fixed update schedule, and its covered content scope is narrow—it only focuses on the author's own development domain, and there is no supporting comment or interaction community.

Who It's For & Accessibility

This blog is great for learning and reference for C++ developers, graphics API developers, game engine developers, and developers interested in compilation and build workflows. The website is directly accessible from the mainland Chinese internet, no VPN proxy required, with stable connection speeds.
