Does it matter what the age of the users are? Clearly they are all children regardless.


I wouldn’t expect that either given the little that I know about the rigorous software requirements for aviation.

But I assume that neither of us has anywhere near enough expertise to “refuse” to believe that any computer/software system could be used in dangerously absurd ways even accidentally.


This was poignant. Thanks.


This reads like one of the clearest intros to C that I have seen in a long time. Feels approachable the whole way through.


Thanks for your kind words! They really encourage me to share more. Please be aware that there might still be some bugs, so feel free to create issues or pull requests!
