I work from home, programming.
Decades ago, when I didn't have a PC at home,
I'd come to work at odd hours, when everyone else was gone.

I was close to the salesmen, so I had my own room/office
in their _fancy suites, downtown Seattle and Bellevue.
Again, I was mostly alone, as the salesmen seldom came in.

When they did come in, it was _party time, not work.

When I edit code, using Visual Studio 2017,
it looks like this:

236 columns of text, No side panels. To find a function,
I just search for it, instead of using a side panel of "classes".

I hope you never work on a project where others have to maintain that code.

Interesting. Apparently C++ code to spam/troll newsgroups, expressed in
a delightful font and colors, in actually 236 columns! Well the good
Jeff is in my killfile, so I didn't see it: thanks for reposting. :)


Cheers!,
