I'm a computer programmer/manager these days. I manage
a group of programmers at a software company. We
make obscure programming tools for other companies
that make computer software. These days we make tools
for developing software for computer chips that are inside
special purpose computers (ABS brakes, Microwave ovens,
missiles, planes, medical equipment, etc ...) Pretty
boring stuff when compared to IRA's glorious achievements.
