Actually standalone post:
Ever want to learn the lower part of the stack, but it's intimidating as fuck?
libc? Kernel? Compilers? Horrifying random library you wanna figure out how to dissect?
Need a mentor?
I've been doing it for 20 years. My methods are crude but effective. My second programming language was x86 assembly. We don't discuss my first which may have been QBASIC but I outgrew it fast.
I have taught people to code before and I've mentored others for hairy parts of the stack. You're not a guinea pig.
I've got time. I've got inclination.
Requirements:
- A belief you can do it
- A desire to learn Unix at the deeper levels
- You don't scream when you see a terminal prompt
- You can exit nano; exiting vim optional but encouraged
- You should at least know the rudiments of programming
What I will do:
- Help you understand the parts you don't understand
- Help you understand how things fit together
- I don't know everything, but we can find out shit together
- Teach you how to figure it out
- Help review your patches for obvious, glaring mistakes, so you don't look like a horse's ass (it's okay sometimes I too look like a horse's ass)
I charge:
- $0 (gratuities appreciated but not required)
- "Exposure"
