This guy wouldn’t last 5 minutes when the lights go out.

Learn to code? Really.

“Learn to code? Really.”

Years ago back in college a professor (sciences) said something like “Okay - so computing it becoming a REAL BIG thing. You guys need to come up with the solutions. And then hire some high-school kid to program it into code.”

My first job at a small firm, that’s what the owner did. We would come up with the ideas, and the kid would create the programs. Except I think he was Junior High. At the time he was learning to fly, and the airport was always screwing up the scheduling. So he created scheduling software for small airports and sold it to them and others!

Yep, they will find out in a real hurry if anything serious happens.

We had an ice storm some years that took out power and water for 10 days.
Had to carry water from the lake to make the toilets work and heat with wood.
Cook on a gas camp stove.

Listening to this article could lead to early death.
