New 0x2C, huh?
You're younger than I thought.

What is it? It seems everyone over 0x30 gets out of programming and into sales.

New It's called survival of the fittest.
You can offshore programming easily, but somebody's still got to sit face to face with the customer and convince her she needs the product those offshore programmers are producing.

Another thing, once they're much over 0x30, most people realize an hour spent programming is an hour lost from real life, and real life is already way too short. Programming is for the young 'uns who still think they're immortal.

Of course, many programmers chose that career precisely to avoid human interaction - a two pronged disadvantage. First, they haven't had to developed the interpersonal skills to do much else, and second, real life consists mostly of human interaction.

In small business, where I am, sales and other interpersonal interaction is 80%+ of the product. The rest you can buy somewhere.

isn't 074 = 0x3C instead of 0x2C?
When they took the Fourth Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs.
When they took the Fifth Amendment, I was quiet because I was innocent.
When they took the Second Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't own a gun.
Now they've taken the First Amendment, and I can't say anything about it.

New Oops....
Now that adds 16 years 0x10 and that's about where I put him.

Note to self: Use a calculator. You're too old 0x27 to keep trying to do it in your head.
