  This was a great read, and very impressive. I hope to one day be as comfortable with these kind of tools to just be able to say "oh let's have a quick look with the decompiler in a VM". The author just exudes competence.

  The article is great. But please Jessica, if you read this, would you consider unfixing the header on mobile? It’s very cute, but it’s also taking a fifth of my screen!

  Software archeology is my jam. I try to watch everything on that subject that I can get my hands on.

  I feel like there isn't a lot of variation in the features available in different open-source implementations of common tools. I wonder if somewhere in some obsolete binary there are dormant treasures of innovation.
