So true! In a previous job, I had to work with code that did computational geometry, and I quickly learnt that lesson the hard way. I shared an office with my supervisor, who spent a lot of time on the phone, so I also learnt not to curse like a sailor, a lesson I appreciate, in retrospect, almost as much.
