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 see. My present circumstances have me in a vulnerable situation should the political tides change in November and I have to really figure things out. But maybe I should try to code like mad for seven months until the coming Trumpian apocalypse. There is the onerous problem I have had trying to write a poetry parser. I tried an implementation in Perl but it fell through because regular expressions are not as logically forth coming in parsing poetry as I had hoped. I figured Perl being a text processing language that processing poetry would be in the purview but natural language processing is far more complicated than I expected. There is more than nuclei, onsets, and codas to hardcode into a parser.
