  Hilarious that you have that saved. Any reason for why? Building up the courage to follow suit and use this for encouragement perhaps?

    FWIW it was posted in a popular thread here in the last few days.

  Or in Tracey Kidder's book The Soul of a New Machine, the hardware engineer who tires of debugging nanosecond timing heisenglitches, moves to a commune in Vermont where he will not have to deal with units of time less than a season.

    Love that book. It enabled me to have one of my favourite flights of all time. Sat next to Chris Turner, chatting about his time at Acorn for about 9 hours. I blogged about something related and included this anecdote part way through. https://popey.com/blog/2023/09/a-virus-for-the-bbc-micro/ https://popey.com/blog/2023/09/a-virus-for-the-bbc-micro/ - under "A short aside"
