Where are all the reverse engineers, compiler devs, and OS devs at!? There must be some people interested in this stuff around these parts...
(Please don't recommend hashtags. It's an intentional omission, to avoid the "hacker bros".)
@lunarood well i used to be a compiler dev.. until about 5 months ago.. if that helps
@mrsbeanbag Wait, what happened 5 months ago? 
@mrsbeanbag Oh no, sorry to hear! (I'm assuming you're talking about job loss.)
I was a bit thrown off by "used to be a compiler dev", as I conceptualise "being something" more as your primary skills, rather than what you are currently employed as 
@lunarood sorry if that seemed obtuse, but "primary skills" is a surprising concept to me. i've done a lot of different things. compiler dev was just the last job i had. it's an interesting topic though.
@mrsbeanbag Oh, no need to apologise, I was just worried you somehow lost your skills or something 
And you're right! "Primary skills" was just my attempt at self-definition, as I don't really relate to the employment angle (by that definition I'd be a 3D artist, which would be a huge misrepresentation ), but I do also find it hard to define "primary skills".
Ultimately the whole concept of "being" a narrow and specific thing is kinda nonsense. My OP was more about "are you into this?".
