Back in 2015, I did a quick two hour scrum workshop for the graduating Computer Science students of the University of the Philippines in Cebu. It was fun passing the information along. Just wanted to share the slides I made below.

Design patterns are great. It gives you a pool of known solutions to common object-oriented software problems. Then you'll need to apply some creativity to tweak the patterns to fit your situation. There are close to two dozen design patterns and going through them all at once will overwhelm you. I can't even say I fully understand all of them but I think what you should first understand is these 23 patterns are grouped into three:
In one of my rabbit hole adventures on the internet, I stumbled across an article written by Eric Steven Raymond called How To Ask Questions The Smart Way. Turns out, I haven't been asking efficiently on StackOverflow and I get flak and downvotes for that. Just like reporting a bug, there's also a smart, efficient way to ask questions on the web (and avoid weird comments).
This article will be one of my first in a commentary format. Which means, I'll copy some text from the site and I'll make my comments here. I won't even go through the whole article. Just the ones I find usable in general between programmers and other professions. It's my own space, and... yeah, well, it's just like my own opinion, man. There will be more posts of this format to follow. When I feel like writing up. Ha.
In a previous project I was working on, it involved multithreading and three conditional locks. There was so much happening and so much code to read through and I had the attention span of a puffer fish. To aid myself in understanding software, I write pseudo code in a stacked notation for an easier glance of things. This is a mix of pseudo code and actual function names so I will have reference back to the actual method or variable.
I have refined it over the years and have come up with two variations. They are nothing as complex as the image I have used above. It's just something that makes me look smart.
This guide is written as if the person who will read this does not have much experience with SSH and jailbreaking.
One of the easiest ways to capture network traffic coming out of your device to the world wide internet is by setting up a proxy on your desktop and setting your device to use that proxy but that assumes the app will use the proxy. What if it uses its own proxy? What if it uses a socket connection? What if you are forced to connect to another network (say, the GoPro app needs you to connect to the ad hoc wireless network on the GoPro device)?
This approach will allow your device to connect to any network, and captures all types of network traffic including socket and HTTP/S with or without proxy. Drawback is the need for the iOS device to be jailbroken. Jailbreak it. Free yourself.
