When I was in the Marines I started learning to code (back in 1985) so I decided to look into changing my MOS to Programmer. I went and took the entry level test for programmers.

One of the questions was "A bomber is flying at 36,000 feet and drops five 500lb bombs and three 1000lb bombs 10 seconds apart. How far apart do the hit the ground". I failed misserably.

After the test the examiner said I'd never be a programmer. I got up and left.

32 years later I'm still coding.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
