> I was paid the miserable sum of 1,600 eur per year, which is why the usual "university mafia" wasn't interested in putting someone else in that position

> Anyway, at some point a professor in the Math department threatened me because students were using my handout to study regular expressions, and it was (in his mind) hurting the sales of the book they were using for his course; that book was of course authored by the professor, and he was making some money from it. How shameful.

It sounds like you missed a potential revenue stream here haha! The fact that the math professor was mad about it meant that you had a potential market!

Also, aren't regex just documented everywhere on the internet? Maybe not in Italian...
