Watching this made me realize how profoundly-little we have learned as a species, and that no amount of preventative lobbying will stop the next generation's rich and powerful from finding faster and more legally-vague ways to profit off of our corpses.

Stop copying and pasting code. When project bloat becomes unmanageable, building your own library is the ultimate fix. Discover how following your curiosity—from social media tools to cybersecurity cr
