year after I had 2hr intro to programming, univ. hired me fulltime to be
responsible for ibm mainframe production systems (academic as well as
administration). I hated bugs, getting calls to fix something
... sometimes in the middle of the night ... other times when i was
concentrating on some extremely complex progamming ... with regarding to
interrupting concentration ... from "Real Programmers Don't Eat Quiche"

Real Programmers never work 9 to 5.  If any Real Programmers are
around at 9 AM, it's because they were up all night.

... aka offshift work frequently minimizes interrupts. My adversing to
bugs got worse when bugs became utilized for exploits ... led to last
product at IBM was HA/CMP ... no single point of failure ...  and "fail
safe" ... past posts

and "availability" related posts

as aside, I thot something other than contact on business cards had no
point, tried hard to have it left blank ... then was told that there was
corporate standard that something had to be there ... then would just
have "staff member" ... as innoxious and meaningless as possible.

the other was we were first to have corporate internet email address
... and then csnet (arpanet/internet) email address.  Then corporate
said that business cards were only for customer contact information and
email addresses had to be removed. We pointed out that met then that it
also applied to internal "tieline" phone number ...  which would also
have to be removed ... and csnet email could remain. old email
about being first with csnet gateway (also arpanet, 1982, slightly
before internetworking change over)
