As to splitting functions each to a file, never adopted that because I am the author and it was my choice. Now this was all C code, not C++ so with each language we followed the rules that worked for us.

In other words, standards are great since we have so many to choose from. For instance, indentation was one I told them to take a hike on. That rule would change with every manager. It wasn't worth it to change the code base to meet the new standards. If they wanted it changed, we'd ask for additional hours (money) which shut down the request quickly.

Since the Circle method uses radians instead of degrees you'll want to write a little helper function or just do the math like I see on the web. Example: https://www.wikihow.com/Convert-Degrees-to-Radians

In my circle we can't use blockchain because of a missing feature. It's really a simple one. Ready?
There is no HARD DELETE feature. Once data is in the chain, it's stuck forever.

As such we would be paying for storage forever for dead data.

Blockchain does have its use but for us, it's dead technology.

Think of the reasons behind this. In fact I have in my office an old laptop from 1998 which reminds me of those days.

  1. Laptops back then had not so bright displays. Today with OLED, LED and such displays, it's often too bright.
  2. In smartphones, a light mode may reduce the number of minutes you get from the battery.
  3. Old people. Many have vision issues so let's give the users a choice.

The number of discussions about "my personal info" has been leaked, obtained, etc. is off the charts. The consensus is that your personal info is, in short, on the web and in all those social media sites such as Facebook and more.

I'll supply two recurring uses that have resulted in lower cost and lower human capital. That will upset a few out there.

  1. Company would call on a SQL consultant at times. GPT has replaced that need for the consultant.
  2. Another area is to contract for code that used regular expressions. Again, GPT has filled that need.

As GPT progressed this year more and more people I know use GPT based products to be more productive. Adoption of AI/ML/GPT has been swift and impactful.

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

This just in from an AI researcher.

Given the impact GenAI has had, it's been odd to see how unwelcome discussions about GenAI are here and other places.
Then again, it is an existential threat to new and old programmers that don't add these new tools to their repertoire or skill set.

Also, AI/ML has created no end of angst in Hollywood. Last month a company that makes audiobooks reduced its workforce because the AI tool to make audiobooks costs 20USD a month. Everyday voice actors at this point are going to have a rough time going forward except for the big names.

I have stories about the use of AI/ML/GenAI in the circles I run. All use has resulted in higher productivity. Which is good for the company, not so much everyone else.

My first look would be https://www.google.com/search?&q=example+blockchain+in+python

Checking that out finds ready to use examples in about 60 lines of code.

HOWEVER I would never do that because blockchain code should be more efficient as to energy use and more.
https://www.efinancialcareers.com/news/2023/06/which-programming-language-uses-the-most-energy writes:

The results showed that Python, despite its popularity was a massive energy hog using 45 times as much energy (4390 joules) as C++ (77 joules) to execute its programs.

So I wouldn't do this.

I found such to be loved by those that micro-manage. It can and has resulted in lower productivity because you spend time tracking time rather than working on the projects.

Looked at the site and don't see any compelling reason to call this company.

It's time to update the company and website. For example, are you embracing AI/ML/Generative tools? I know in my circles we're seeing 10X productivity gains and less need to outsource.

Example 1: We need a regular expression and can't quite nail it. Used a generative AI and done.
Example 2: We needed a SQL query and again, couldn't quite nail it without resorting to longer coding methods. Again, used a generative AI and done.

Result? We're not hiring staff or outsourcing.

@b
I'll be spread a little thin but each AI tends to be better or worse at certain things. GPT can do a good job at coding but for those that expect it to be 100% correct, well, humans are not 100% either. For more current web content you look to BARD and Bing's AIs.

It's going to be interesting when these AI's start using web content that is itself AI generated. Time to que up a Rick and Morty episode about Asimov Cascade?

Worthy of mention since we use it for stock image generation is Midjourney.

This sounds like you want others to write the entire app. I rarely see that here. Instead you should share the code section that's not working along with why you think it fails and then ask for help on that function.

For now, don't fret about robots.txt. It's a request, not mandated. From https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Robots.txt

The purpose and meaning behind the creation of ROBOTS.TXT file dates back to the early 1990s, when the then-new World Wide Web was quickly defining itself as the killer application that would change forever how users would interact with the growing internet. Where previous information networks utilizing internet connections such as GOPHER and WAIS were text-based and relatively low-bandwidth, the combination of text, graphics and even sounds on webpages meant that resources were stretched to the limit. It was possible, no joke, to crash a machine with a Netscape/Mozilla web browser, as it opened multiple connections to web servers and downloaded all their items - the optimizations and advantages that 20 years of innovation have brought to web serving were simply not there. As crawlers/spiders/search engines came into use, the potential to overwhelm a site was great. Thus, Martijn Koster is credited with the Robot Exclusion Protocol, also known simply as the ROBOTS.TXT file.
