Quote - I admire anyone who can write programs and code because I'm one of those naive bloaks that has no idea what most of this stuff means. My career was spent on breaking things LOL! Hardware, no problem I love building PCs and loading up the OS and other apps is cake for me. However, if it's a software problem I'm FUBAR sometimes I wonder if I'm too damn dense. Big kudos to you programmer types!!
Not at all... being a programmer doesn't really require smarts so much as a willingness to lose your social skills while thinking like a machine, substituting coffee for food, and bashing your head into a wall periodically when someone says (for the two hundred sixty seventh time), "Yeah, I know that's what I said I wanted, but that isn't what I meant I wanted, you'll have to change it."
sigh
At least computers (hardware and software) are easier than raising kids. :biggrin:
