I'm now taking a nice computer class, and my instructor is a bona-fide genius!
The guy invented the following:
- Electronic gas pumps
- Computer panels/ credit card compatibility for gas pumps
- Card based door locks/security systems
- Wrote the program used by UPS to track packages by self in 1 month
He also maintains our high school's servers and network.
This guy gets 40,000 a month programming during the summer and chooses to teach 9 months a year for more like 3,000 a month.
Did I mention that he designed, diagrammed, and built his $300,000 house by hand
I could learn a lot from this guy...
