I have this great idea for an app, we can go 70/30 on it! 70 for me because the idea is the hardest part after all. So basically it’s Twitter plus Facebook plus Tinder with a built in MMO. You can get that done in a couple weeks, should be pretty easy right?

A favorite of mine is Ghidra. Before they realeased+open souced it a few years back, the only option for real software reverse engineering (as in, for large and non-trivial programs, where you need more than just fancy disassembly) was IDA Pro, which is absurdly expensive if you’re not sponsored or willing to pirate. Now, some of us kinda take for granted the fact that there’s an open source world-class RE tool. And honestly, I even prefer it to IDA Pro - that’s how good it is.
