also sorry abt the infrequent + low-quality Poasting, i am once again in demo hell at work so im just like. completely braindead in the evenings. especially since over the past two weeks i think i've rewritten like half the robot driver + firmware. which is supposed to be the hardware team's responsibility but the hardware team does not currently have any programmers and i DID write the first drafts of both of those before handing them over to Andrew The DM (now living at a nice grad school upstate), who handed them over to another guy, who also quit and handed them back to me (with only a little wear and tear).

but like... do i really want to be working on higher-level robot behavior stuff during a(nother) demo crunch? no the fuck i don't!!

#the trashcan speaks #jorb #not all of this was in support of demo requirements #some of it was just refactoring Because I Was Theah #and space... is theah.#we go to the moon and do these other refactorings not because they are easy #but BECAUSE THEY ARE HAHD #ESPECIALLY when we have to do horrible things with c++ templates.#the python version of What If We Could Define A Struct And Automatically Compute The Packet Format #took me half an hour and maybe 20 lines of code. the C++ version took 2-3 full work days and tears of blood. and functors.#but it will definitely save time later!!!
