I started doing similar changes because software became a shitshow. Corporate software shops are just a bunch of IT people trying to get their friend's products in use in the company for kickbacks. So what you have are multiple IT te

Actually that's not true. Experience does matter. In one particular class I took we implemented a simple marching cubes implementation, or rather I did because the rest of the class could not complete it. I had about 8 years of expe

Call your states bar association for a referral. Probably no one will want to help you unless it is criminal defense, in which case you have no choice except pay what they want. In civil stuff no one will help you unless it is open and sh
