How I cut GTA Online loading times by 70%

This is really cool - how did you develop the background knowledge to solve this? I'm trying to learn more about low-level stuff and I would have no idea how to approach solving a problem like this

I'd recommend searching HN for threads about learning reverse engineering. Here are a few that I've found:

I love it but I don’t have the focus or patience to ever do anything more than basic analysis.

A lot of the reverse engineers I know seemingly have deep platform knowledge and can do things like cite Win32 docs from memory.

The number one way to get the patience to do this is to have impatience for software that is slow.

And with most RE software(especially the mentioned inaccessible interactive disassembling tool) you'll get that by default, waiting for a 70mb binary to analyze isn't fun :)
