This sounds like my dream job, actually. It's what I do at work for fun, in between my "real" development / support tasks. I profile and optimize our internal application, its loading time, user interactions, etc. Someti

Just an idea: this or something similar could be utilized to generate test vectors, for property based testing [0]. Also for model-based testing, if you consider the model to be a vector of actions [1] Currently, AFAIK, property based test

I really loved "Life in Code". The book's combination of intimate autobiography and job description, and a somewhat outsider's view on programming, which she sort of stumbled into, just felt right. I also liked the inter
