I’m celebrating the last day of summer by wearing a cardigan and staying indoors.

This is pretty much a précis of my lecture to software engineering students.
If you understand what software engineering as a career actually entails (lots of people and organizational problems, understanding legacy code and tradeoffs) you are at a career advantage over those who understand the job as just producing code.

Those jobs could be replaced. But that ain’t the job

For "reasons" I am playing around with DVD video streams, and today I learned that DVD subtitles are bitmaps, not text rendered by the player. My copy of Terminator 2 Extreme Edition has this interesting subtitle track that gives details on the VFX, including some illustrations.
