Custom Native Container Series
I wrote a blog series on the details of implementing custom native containers. A native container manages its own memory and is designed to work with the job system. I looked into and explained multiple methods on how to create custom containers that work with multiple parallel threads writing to them. From this I also learned more about multi threading in C# and creating lock free containers.
The DOTS playground blog was also my first time using Hugo to write articles, learning me how to use markdown.
