Having left Intel, I'm free to post on comp.arch, and hopeful that some of my inventions will get patented.
But... I have spent much of my career coding. Simulators. E.g. 2006-2009, pair programming on my security project.
My new job involves reading, writing. But not much coding. In my spare time I will work on my wiki, http://semipublic.comp-arch.net/wiki, and my own inventions, although I plan to see if V will patent them.
However, I don't want to let my coding skills lapse. So, what shall I code? In the short term, perhaps, I will code mainly for my website.
Mediawiki PHP, or client-side Javascript? Probably the latter, since seems more useful.
Eventually I will have to write a simulator. Again. What is this, the 3rd of 4th time?
