Tangential - in your work in progress compiler book https://keleshev.com/compiling-to-assembly-from-scratch-the-... are you going to write yourself the lexer and parser or use Flex and Bison like in the article ?

In the book, lexing and parsing is done from scratch. I think tools like Flex and Bison are very handy, but for the book, my focus is on learning value.
