Coristine was fired from an intern job last year for allegedly leaking insider information to a rival company.

I assume the general conclusion is that in a stunning twist, the Trump admin picked someone who has experience of the job they're expected to do?

The foxes are in the henhouse. I can't shake this feeling that something very horrible is going to happen this year.

Something very horrible has already happened to a lot of people around the world as a direct result of Herr Trump and Herr Musk's illegal actions.

Fixed. Thanks. And that's how long it's been for me and that's how much interest I had in programming when surfing, hot chicks and fast cars was so much more important to me. Glad I passed both courses. Came in handy making some much needed cash as a student asst. Worked in an auto body shop, caught salt water aquarium fish to pay for books, tuition and gas, repaired surfboards from home <---$$$$, did part time work as a draftsman (81B20) during summer breaks, stripped out abandoned cars on the streets and sold the parts to junkyards. Dragged golf balls out of golf course water traps and sold them to driving ranges for a whopping 25¢ ea.

Kind'a funny to think about it in the sense that I got taught FORTRAN and COBOL back in the early 70's.

It's really fun when your US contract forces you to use ADA. And problems get compounded when it essentially becomes a legacy language halfway through it's life cycle and the talent pool shrinks to nothing and then someone recompiles but forgets to turn on the double precision switch. Oh I could go on...

I took over a project written in APL. “WTF is this gibberish covering the keyboard?”
