I don't understand. I want to develop code. I don't want to become an AWS/S3/Github/Jenkins/Action/terraform/etc expert. I know enough of this to be dangerous but not at a level that passes as profess

I've rarely had a hard time understanding code that was written for a purpose rather than importing a library. Except in rare cases (like dates, big APIs) a library is often unnecessary cruft. Should I go pull a fat logger when all I n

Well an expert system is an AI system. It's "true" AI in the sense it's not solving a constraint optimization problem, but rather querying a knowledge database like a human might do.

It would be pretty cool if while I was spinlocking waiting for someone to make their point I could suspend the thread and do something else.

I'm fairly convinced JIRA can be managed by a well crafted expert system.

Coincidentally this is how I know what I am made to do. I've stopped programming on personal stuff for months at a time to solve burnout. Yet, I always manage to get the spark reignited, drop every other hobby, and focus on what I love

I've noticed that during my times of burnout I code less at home. I do what I need to at work and go do something else. Sometimes this involves taking up an alternative hobby until I feel the spark again. The last time this happened I

Sure, the thing about decompilation is it's by nature taking lossy data and trying to turn it into something that is almost lossless. The working theory of most decompilers, including Ghidra's, is to have a base level of "tra

I am not going to hold my breath on extending their hobbyist offerings. I own a copy of IDA (legally). It was an absolute pain to purchase and it seems that a large portion of their margins are dedicated to piracy control. I won't deta

As a meta-comment why does everything bad need some sort of impetus to drive the point home? For example here, "...affects those most in need". Sure, I agree, it most likely does. This is obvious at it's face. If someone stol

What a perfect opportunity to discuss something that drives me absolutely nuts. The term "hacker" being used so liberally (especially here, despite the name). No, getting your app launched does not make you a hacker. Being the CEO

Copyright has a purpose. I don't mean a purpose in the Disney Hegemony sense but a real, actual purpose. Dropping copyright cases is great if you hate proprietary code. That's fine. Open source is also powered by copyright. If we

Bad example. A better example is I am a vendor across the street giving away free books. However, to comply and get a free book I require you to keep the book's bibliography intact. You don't do this. You get my books, cut out the
