  https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~kovar/cv.html https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~kovar/cv.html Looks like he went on get a PhD in CS and is now a staff SWE at Google, according to his LinkedIn. Guess he's rolling in cash after all.

    You're right, I looked up and he seems to work at Google as a SWE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-kovar-185a3531 https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-kovar-185a3531 Happy he made the leap and at least get's paid well now (I hope).

      The last line seems strangly intelligent: > I still wouldn't have any women, but at least I'd be rolling in cash. Did they get a girlfriend?

      Fear not, he's being paid well.

    That this is the chosen path says alot about how we as a society allocate money and value things.

  > (2000) It was probably actually written sometime prior to June 1999, because that's when the author got his Physics BS at Stanford (https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~kovar/cv.html https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~kovar/cv.html). I kinda want to know more of the backstory around this. What grade did he get? Or was this a private venting exercise he later put up on his webpage, once he was well clear of the course? The author did eventually go into CS, I wonder if this project was his actual breaking point. https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~kovar/bio.html https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~kovar/bio.html

    Yeah I want to say I remember this making the rounds (remember email forwards?) during my first year of undergrad ('99-'00) but I'm a bit fuzzy on the exact timing.
