General
The General section is home to all programming and computer-related concepts that are language-agnostic and do not belong in one of the focused topic areas such as AI, cybersecurity, or open-source. These include universal foundational programming terminologies that are often shared among languages and frameworks.
Here are entries from “Computer Hardware”, to “Developer Tools”, to “Historical Technical Figures”.
