Wernerware Labs Week!
I just got back from a trip to Bulgaria and Romania, and instead of returning to work right away, I decided to take another week off to experiment with some ideas I've been thinking of for a while. Just before the trip, I attended the No Fluff Just Stuff conference, and it got me excited to learn more about Spring Boot! I want to try and use Spring Boot with AWS SAM CLI to tinker with an app idea I've had for a while about taking pictures of receipts and gathering this and other types of written information via your smartphone's camera.

Obfuscation and the Puzzles of De-obfuscation
Wernerware has published another video! This time using what we learned about decompilation to understand what obfuscators like ProGuard really do.
I decided to experiment with Amazon Polly for the audio in this tutorial. I think it turned out well.

Fernflower Decompiler For Java
Wernerware videos are going to be a regular thing coming soon, starting with a quick summary of the usage of a tool that I have used recently in my professional life: Fernflower, a decompiler for java. Sometimes you don't get the source for one of your dependencies, even if it's within the same organization. Maybe you lost it somehow, or someone went on vacation or left the company, or any number of scenarios that might leave you with an artifact but no source.
Fernflower claims to be the "first actually working analytical decompiler for Java." Seeing as this is not the only tool out there, this language seems slightly on the sassy side, but who am I to judge? It's clear that decompilation is at least partially an art in addition to being an objectively useful tool, so there's likely ample room for opinion. Anyway, it worked for me when I needed it.
