I ended work as a programmer because all the new kids on the block 
wanted someone who spoke the same compSci gobbledygook as they did:
'must have experience of  Blatweiler's functional decomposition 
techniques' and 'be fluent in  the formal  prototyping language Z'.

Which was immediately understood that a compSci had got given a project, 
had tried to use some thing he had learnt at Uni, fucked it up 
completely and needed someone to get him out of a self inflicted disaster.

Not tell him to throw that shit down the toilet and learn how to run a 
software project.
