***THE MORE YOU KNOW***
@MufflePuff I am good. I am still in a state of not knowing what I want to do long-term in life and it's freaking me out.
Thats a good healthy reaction
dude...mach...don't make every plan in stone......you never know where life leads......I was gonna work at IBM til I was 62......boom, offered retirement at 42........had to restart my career. I also thought I would have been married and a dad too.
Yeah
Never thought I would live in different parts of California....it's been fun
I just want to be an "engineer" in something cooler than what I am doing now lol.
not easy at times........but overall, I'll take it. Some bad times too.....but had to "keep on keepin' on"
You will........get a few years under da belt.........and you never know! I got two patents at IBM unrelated to "hardware" and tech comm
Nice!
That's insane.
Would you consider software engineering an actual engineering discipline?
yeah....totally
when I was young......all the folks in high tech wanted to be (or thought they were) the next Steve Jobs.....which according to them, gave them *permission* to be a first-class a-hole to people because "he was like that" (and he was) but very few people are on that calibre....very few........
and even fewer have no business behaving like he did.......I worked in the Silicon Valley when he came back into Apple. He was a tyrant
At IBM we had Lou Gerstner.....a candy and cigarette salesman brought in from Nabisco to turn the business around in 1993......and it looked like IBM was going to fade away. IBM had an amazing turnwround. Lou at the time focused on who we were, and the SERVICE aspects which really regained trust with our big customers, and he let the engineers run, held back "finance" and a lot of good stuff came about. IBM my not be an upfront player like Apple but behind the scenes. Who makes the whole thing run????? IBM *still* does and is still making a killing
Well my goal isn't to be Steve Jobs. It's Steve Wozniak, the actual creator 😄
