What Hacker News says

Horrible article. It had me glued to the screen in rapt interest and I ended up losing track of time, causing me to be late for a meeting. Actually, I have been biting at the bit to get into reverse engineering after discovering some of Chris Domas' [0]. However, my hand has been stayed simply by a lack of somebody to learn from and nerd out with on the topic. Would you be able to share any communities you are aware of in this regard? Really though, awesome article. Thank you for taking the time to write and share it! [0]:https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax/sinkhole
