It’s not an easy way to make a living. Not everyone can be locked in a room with actual murderers. I started in the early ‘90s. The gang explosion soon after really changed the dynamic.

I work on the Modified tour so I’m only around the cup guys a few times a year.

I was in Martinsville last year when he came back from his suspension though.

I learned Fortran back in the prehistoric period when we used punch cards:

Each card contained a single line of program. You typed out this cards on a machine

We had a room filled with these card punching machines. You turned in your stack of cards just to find out one or two cards had typos and the program got kicked out....find the mistake, retype and submit again; repeat until you got it right.

Only mainframes available....actually hand held calculators didn't come out until a year or two later, and only did add, subtract, divide and multiply. And even after they came out, we weren't allowed to use them on chemistry tests....had to use a slide rule.....look it up, no batteries needed.

I started at the tail end of the punched card era. I don't miss them. Many years of PL/1 and COBOL programming, then built intranet .asp applications when asp was new. Eventually went on to lots and lots of SQL coding and DataStage and Informatica, mostly for corporate audit functions. Retired 2021.
