The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

also OT define the exposure lens surface in a very precise way in order to produce a physical lens that exposed the phosphor stripes exactly where they needed to be.... followed by a lot of incredibly technical me and ee terms...

WOW that stuff was HARD!

In programming software I never felt like the stuff we were doing was really hard, it was just kind of tedious to put together the right sequence of commands using the rules and constraints of the human-developed tools we were using. We could get it to do stuff, and as more developers released cooler tools to make items easier to get done it was always evolving and mostly cool.

That stuff you guys were working on? Hard. Math. Mech and Electrical engineering, properties of physical materials at the molecular level. 6th order polynomials?? Jesus... I barely survived freshman calculus with three attempts at passing quizzes on first & second derivatives.
