Musings of a too-long-time software developer, who prefers to remain anonymous so I don't have to keep track of whether my opinion will be upsetting to my employer du jour.
Writing software for a living since 1976, first in the CAD industry, then PC software, and most recently web development tools.
My nom de plume derives from the fact that I was a Midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy for a short time, before the Navy introduced me to computer programming and I realized what I really wanted to do with my career. While I was there, I was spared a serious ass-chewing by a prank attributed to the ghost of "Philo McGiffin", who is said to haunt the academy; there's an excellent writeup of the career of the real Philo McGiffin here.
