I specialize in situations where the source material is obscure.
Interviewing scientists, engineers, and programmers is a big part of many of
the jobs I work on.
Sometimes everyone who may have known the answers I need has gone on to
other things. Then I have to go back to sources--program listings, logic
diagrams, even binary files. I call it software archaeology.
