I came across this...

Visualizing a nanosecond - Hack a Day

which then lead me to this

Grace Hopper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'd forgotten how much she did for the computer revolution, truly one of the Giants of IT. Many of the fundamentals computers are based on come from her work!

    I was like 10 when I first read about her. All I remembered was that she invented COBOL.

    Who knew that decades later, COBOL would still be around...I don't develop in COBOL, but I have to compile them whenever Oracle sends out a PeopleSoft bundle update.

    BTW, there's an answer to the very last question that you asked....your first question's answer would start with "My..." and the last question would start with "Your..."

    That's what she said
    IT guy since 12/00

    Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
    Working on: RHCE/Ansible
    Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands...
