Loops play an integral role when it comes to software development. However, if you aren’t careful, they can cause your program to run forever or outright crash from a stack overflow (yes, that’s a real thing, not just a website). In this episode, we’re looking at the various kinds of loops, how they're used, and why you may or may not want to use one over the other given your use case. We are covering all of this and more on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.

We done goofed and posted last weeks episode as this weeks, whoops. Here's the right one.

The idea of logging has been tarnished over the years by Governments, Social Media companies, and many other companies that provide software, hardware, and services to spy on, surveil, and sell the data they harvest from their users to the highest bidder. At the same time, logging plays a pivotal role in software development. In this episode, we are talking about why logging is so important when it comes to developing software and managing your server infrastructure, whether that’s in a homelab or in a corporate environment. Lastly, we’ll also discuss how you can log data from users to improve your software, website, etc. without actually knowing a single thing about any of them and without taking the route a lot of companies go down of harvesting as much user data as possible to sell to the highest bidder. We are covering all of this and more on this episode of The Dark Assassins Podcast.
