nitwit-se

Useful collection of links - thanks. The suggested learning path section: reads AI generated. It won’t take anyone five weeks to work this all out - likely a weekend would suffice (coming from someone who has implemented most variations of voice including SIP).

My personal take on learning this stuff: ask Claude Code to build a greenfield project that does what you want and then actually read the code it produced and really try to understand what it’s doing.

Agreed - Nix feels very well thought through.

I found Eelco Dolstra‘a doctoral thesis (https://edolstra.github.io/pubs/phd-thesis.pdf) to be a great read and it certainly doesn’t paint the picture of a wicked problem.

Not the only one. I have great memories from many years spent building real products in AS3 - some of them even had users!

For a while RIM/Blackberry was using Adobe Air - on the Playbook and also the built-in app suite in the lead up to the launch of BB10. The latter never saw the light of day though, a late decision was made to replace all of the built-in apps with Qt/Cascades equivalents (if I remember right this was due largely to memory requirements of the Air apps).
