A lot of software engineers around me love poking in their cars
- astrange 8y agoAre they not afraid of regressions?
- p2t2p 8y agoWith car it much easier to provide a decent test coverage though :)
- berbec 8y agoMy nerdiest friend and myself have done engine swaps in our driveway, ranging from LT1s to VG30DETTs. Once we got the grease off, it was Wow time!
- Teknoman117 8y agoI'm a software engineer and I do most of my own car work. Can't do everything though, I don't have a lot of room for tools that I'd rarely use. Paid someone to fix my air conditioning vents though because I'd have to half disassemble the interior of my car to do it and I knew it would take me longer to do than I could have the car out of commission. I really hate the vacuum controlled vents in mid 2000's Ford trucks. I had a vacuum leak - somewhere.
- VBprogrammer 8y agoMotorcycles are great for that. Except for a few really high end modern bikes (mostly BMWs) they are mostly repairable with nothing more than common tools and a little ingenuity.
- Teknoman117 8y agoI really should just be riding my bicycle to work...
- trey-jones 8y agoI'm not interested in cars, but I built my own house. There are plenty of program-a-like jobs and hobbies to go around.
- illiac_1962 8y agoSince we are all circle jerking. Builder, mechanic, electrician, software developer here.
- jeena 8y agoBefore I bought my first computer, at 16 - 22 I was repairing and thus disassembling and assembling back my motorcycles and cars on a monthly basis. I didn't have enough money to buy a good working one so I had to tinker with it very often. The most extreme I did was to replace the car body after an accident I had (slippery road) in my own garage. After a week or something I got a running car again, with a different color and car body number but whatever ^^.
