Engineering at HRT -- C++, Python Forks, and the Pursuit of Performance

This module dives into HRT's engineering culture and technical priorities, drawing from their engineering blog (HRTBeat), open-source contributions, and CppCon talks. From forking CPython for lazy imports to building structured concurrency libraries in C++20, HRT's engineering team operates at the bleeding edge. Understanding their technical philosophy -- performance-obsessed, collaborative, and scrappy -- is critical for demonstrating cultural fit in interviews.
