I was the cleaning woman or teddy bear to a classmate back in college.
We tended to work in the computer lab at the same time, and he would
suddenly walk up to me with his long fan-fold printout and start walking
me through his code before suddenly exclaiming "wait, it shouldn't do
THAT" or similar and walking away. It took me a few weeks to realize
that I didn't actually have to pay him any attention :-)
On the other hand, Laura and I could never debug each other's code
because we always came at a problem from opposite directions. Two
different designs, both eventually valid products, but reading hers
always tied me up in "but it should be THIS WAY" knots. I guess that's
why we've made such a good team for nearly 30 years now :-)
Fun memories ...
HAND
:-D
