I'm at the height of my game...and my game is a bell curve.
Art school dropout to computer engineer trying to learn something today I didn't know yesterday.

My UART Rx ISR is injecting NULL bytes into the ASCII encoded hex TCP packet from the GSM modem causing premature termination of the strings, breaking the parsing, failing the MQTT handshake which stalls the server. There's not enough coffee. #coding #Engineering #developer

I just know that somewhere out there is a piece of code I wrote that returns the result of c_str() from a function and it haunts me... #programmer #developer #engineer #cpp #cplusplus

Surprised that C struct packing is clunky in Visual Studio 2019. I assumed packed structs in unions to decode an array of bytes was common practice #Cpp #C #programming #engineer #embeddedsystems #developer #visualstudio

Finished a class method for overloading the "==" operator
...then wrote an entirely new method for overloading the "!=" operator without even considering returning "!(this == that)"... #cpp #C #programming #developer #engineering #coding #notsmart #oops
