You’d see a quirky drawing celebrating Alan Turing or some surrealist poet who died 200 years ago, and think, “Cool, I guess I’ll learn something today before diving into a black hole of tech news and Jira tickets.”…

For years, I wore my firefighting badge with pride. When systems broke, I jumped in. When incidents happened at 3 AM, I was on Slack before anyone else. When no one knew how to fix it… I did!. It felt good to be the “go-to person”. It felt necessary. But over time, that pride turned…
Cheat Engine (CE) has been a powerful tool for game hacking since its inception in the early 2000s.
