Hey there, one of the young guys here, trying to weasel my way into a job, I have a few questions for you If you don't mind.

You said this:

More likely I am not impressed because your code is terrible and I am shocked that it took you so many weeks and commits to do what you would be expected to finish in 1 day at our office.

I have a github account, and I use it to host a few of my projects. Right now I'm working on writing a operating system. It's been somewhat successful so far, but as operating systems are a deep and complex field, and I'm definitely still learning, there's a lot of embarrassing mistakes and bad code throughout the git log. For example, I just recently learned how to properly write makefiles , and a day on my project was just on writing a somewhat simple in hindsight makefile (because I was reading the man page at the same time). Should I just not host said projects on my github?

Also, when you look at a github profile, what do you look at? Asking because I can probably get more followers if I make more node.js whatever, but I really like my C and I tend to go for more challenging projects then popular ones. Is that a bad idea?

I actually had an idea for this. What if blind users could wear little braille terminals? Like, braile is constructed of a series of dots, so why not have like a bracer that has a array of dots that poke the skin?

Mal-wat?

One of my favorite things about experimenting like this is that I learn new things from logical systems I create. Spin things differently and you learn a whole new set of ideas. I had no idea how much junk code that biology would allow in genetics until I made this thing.

Yeah, the next thing planned for it is user-settable hunger. Then, making more and more efficient code is simply a matter of following the unix philosophy

corvus -h 500 | corvus -h 300| corvus -h 200

So on and so forth as you get closer to [,.]

The dead code part was a organic artifact, and I actually don't think that I want to change that part. It sorta makes you wonder about how much dead code is in real DNA.

Yeah that was the idea, I'm posting it around to see if I can get a few folks interested in porting it to different languages. Maintaining everything is hard on a one man teenage team.
