Federal Student Loan Repayment Change March 21st, 2012 @ 10:08 am PDT

Dangerous Mistakes January 11th, 2010 @ 8:00 am PST

I was blessed — or cursed, I suppose, depending on your point of view — to have my first “real” programming job in the medical field. I wrote software which managed the processing of human tissue (knees, fascia lata, femurs, etc.) for implantation into human patients. I was very young and very stupid at the […]
