    I remember when folks had to have skills to enter the "profession" of software developer. Nowadays all you need to be a "programmer" is a degree.

    I had an atheist phase when I was like 15. Probably lasted until my early 20s. I blame that on Carl Sagen, Richard Dawkins, et al. I obsessively read science books, and all of thes…
