Copying the entire set of features (tweets, friends, likes, lists, DMs, et al) and figuring out how they are put together still qualifies as reverse engineering

- gruez 5y agoSo what's the difference between regular engineering and reverse engineering? If I asked some software engineer to make a micro-blogging site with "tweets, friends, likes, lists, DMs, et al", does that count as reverse engineering?
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoWell that's not enough information to give to an engineer. You just listed several huge features by simply naming them. That isn't a spec. If you said "... like Twitter" then that would require some form of reverse engineering on the developer's part.
