Be intentional about how AI changes your codebase

To maintain a well-structured codebase, use semantic functions as building blocks that are minimal, self-describing, and unit-testable, and pragmatic functions as wrappers around complex logic. Effective data modeling involves enforcing correctness, using precise names, and avoiding loose typing to prevent bugs and make code easier to understand and maintain.

From Oscilloscope to Wireshark: A UDP Story (2022)

https://www.mattkeeter.com/blog/2022-08-11-udp/probes.jpg
The user decoded UDP packets from raw voltage waveforms captured by an oscilloscope connected to a high-speed active differential probe soldered to a rack switch. They implemented a parser to extract the packets from the waveform data, which involved decoding QSGMII protocol and rate adaptation to convert the data into conventional Ethernet packets.
