[ale] [SEMI-OT] Skills for programmers/engineers?

[Jim Kinney]

I don't want a routine that when I'm done, I have more to do than before I
started.

I take martial arts. If I think about ANYTHING other that what's happening
around me, I get clobbered.

where else can a 50+ adult punch teenagers and not go to jail?

The kids are faster, stronger and much more flexible than the (all 50+) old
farts in the class.  But we have had decades in the work force learning how
to duck when the fan clogs, run faster than co-workers before a charging
pink-slip bear and are just mean enough to take a hit in order to set up a
kill.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
