The year was 2004, I had just finished adding collision detection to my 3D game engine for J2ME-based mobile OSs. It's funny how so much has changed and also nothing at all.
My wife went to CVS, bought something for $25, and was handed that traditional 3-foot receipt.
Without breaking eye contact with the cashier, she glanced at the receipt and said, "I would like to return this," pointing to the product she just bought.
I was confused.
Refund processed. She immediately handed it back. "Now I’d like to buy it again with this 40% off coupon."
She just hacked CVS for $10. Legend. 😅
I don't see a way I can use other people's apps these days unless my agents are reviewing and contributing to the code so that the features I want are safe and well maintained.
