@mansr And the authors of that code will forever have their legacy in the code base!

I just realized. The more you comment your code and make it understandable, the easier it is for other people to takeover and rewrite your code. This means that when you retire/pass-away, your code will likely be quickly overwritten and your legacy gone from the active code base.

So, if you write complex clever code with little to no documentation, your code is more likely to be immortalized in the code base as everyone will be too afraid to touch it and possibly break it.

I thought of this when looking into the Linux TTY code base

@iw That slide is much more interesting in the presentation because it now has baby tux angrily sitting on that chair!

I wasn't a speaker at Embedded Recipes this year but I still pulled off my obligatory selfie with the ER speakers.

Traditional mandates all ftrace talks must start with a selfie from a camera and not a phone! At #kr2023

@KernelRecipes

I think the demonstration was to show that the audience would do anything for Paul.

Enjoy!

@KernelRecipes @librecomputer Only a 103 this time (if I don’t add more between now and then, which I likely will!)

@KernelRecipes @librecomputer
And they also get to watch my talk live as a bonus! 😉

@denix you'll need to watch my talk!

Finished the content of my #kr2023 presentation. Now I just need to touch it up, but that can be done later.

I’m running the Tracing Microconference at Linux Plumbers. If there’s an issue you would like to discuss there, please submit a MC topic. https://lpc.events/blog/current/index.php/2023/08/17/tracing-mc-cfp/

@b0rk If you are beyond the fear factor, you can start creating your own command line shell interface tooling with my “C CLI library” (which I’m still developing).

I had to attend this talk

Obligatory selfie just before I started my talk (many more people came in afterwards)
