re: #183 engineer dog

i’ve heard some wild misconceptions about what us bit pushers do for a living over the years, as well. usually, they fall into two categories:

1) “so you type in numbers all day. big deal”. here, software engineers are thought of as data entry clerks a la circa 1975

2) “wow, i could never handle the math”. that’s a nice thought, but i’m terrible at math, and it isn’t really required at any intense level for pgming

But the degree in Math looks so cool on my resume.
