Programmers?

[tlc]

When I was in high school (88-94) the graphing calculators first came widely into use. I wrote programs for many of them. I still have my TI-85. I also had a Casio for awhile when the school was using TI, so I wrote programs that would allow them to do some of the same things. One nice thing was the math teacher would pull me out of boring classes like Government and have me write programs for some of his younger classes. In school I earned the name Mr. Calculator and an award for top math student.

After college I worked at an engineering company that was in the process of going from IBM CADAM (mainframe) to Autocad, and translations were often iffy. So I often wrote creative lisp routines that would clean up different aspects of the drawings to make them presentable to the big automaker customers.

These days I create long formulas in Excel but that's about it. I am into too many other things now.

Spreadsheet software is incredible. I actually use Google Sheets to map and simulate the memory usage of programs if they're not well optimized by the compiler to see if i can do better

I'm a web developer. I can have trouble meeting deadlines and trying to communicate my thoughts.

Well Programming was invented so that some people can sit in a dark corner by themselves all day, and still make a decent living.

coding was invented by aspies for aspies haha XD

Back when I did non hobby/game cheating programming work, I found it impossibly frustrating because ever time I had to go through someone elses code work it was full of blatant errors and innefficiency, it was maddening!
