After studying cybersecurity at City College of San Francisco, I realized I enjoy puzzling over programming than actually hacking into systems. The school's cybersecurity program teaches you how to basically be a script kiddie with the advance hacking course and how to use metasploit. But I have found that programming is more free form and varied and a bit more interesting than trying to use pre-fabricated shell code from metasploit. I guess I am not malicious or have that power tripping urge to make other people's lives miserable digitally. I would hate to be at the receiving end of a cyber attack. Golden rule I guess. Programming is harder and more in depth and the real meat of any hack is in the programming. The code tells all and if you can read the code the more you can understand. I am on the fence though of continuing with programming however unlikely of gaining employment with my acumen or just getting a joe job and try to stay a float. I should continue on and wait and...

Read about how to use the time module in www.realpython.com. You can use time in a decorator or create a Time class to instantiate a start of a timer and an end of a timer. Decorators are quite onerous but useful. I wonder if there could be a use for a decorator in recursion? Recursion still boggles my mind if you don't take in consideration of the unwrapping from the stack of the function leading to a base case. Also I never realized that data structures could be recursive like lists and dictionaries. That you can apply recursion with python lists is really fascinating. I am at a loss of a direct use case just the same with coroutines but nevertheless interesting.
