> After losing my memory, ... Wow, so you forgot how to write code? May I ask how that happened?

  Just a head injury. Dont give too much detail as too solud testimony might be used against me in hiring or court or something. But, yeah, lost most memory except stuff I repeated most along with muscle memory anx hand-eye. (Shrugs). Supposed to be thoughtless drone but I do well here on many topics despite working with pieces and little short-term memory.

    Man, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope it gets better.

      Appreciate it. Just functional enough to recall pieces of a good, in-depth conversation with you here on programming, software quality, etc. I gave you credit elsewhere for being unusually knowledgeable about present and past techniques of getting job done. Plus noticing high assurance implementation came down to rigorous FSM's and their connection to hardware. Impressive. Since then, although my condition hasn't changed, I've at least pursued that hardware research to get very far. One thing was finding where SW and HW connect with those FSM's as I predicted. Already have 2-3 methods to express software that (a) can integrate with verification tech and (b) can auto-generate hardware from it. So, slow but steady progress toward grand challenges and such. :)

        Cool! Congratulations! I also think that approach sounds potentially very fertile, and painfully feel the inadequacy of existing methods of programming to the tasks we face today. What kinds of media of expression have you come up with?
