Really. Computers are non biased. Did your code crash, did it run in the specified time.

My code worked, but my husband was better than me. He knew how to.optimize code to make it run fast!

We worked together for many years. Most of the time on different projects, but I’d have him look over the code if I noticed a problem.

Usually, we were fixing other people’s code.

I was very good at finding other people’s bugs, and he was great at fixing them.

What language?

I do assembly for HC11, 9S12.

I tried to learn C on my own but I can’t get into it.

“I was very good at finding other people’s bugs, and he was great at fixing them.”

As a retired lawyer, I appreciate this. Proof reading was always a devil of a problem. After a couple of runs through a document, I’d start fooling myself by reading an incorrect word as its correct equivalent. I finally came close to solving the problem by first running spell check, then reading the document on screen, correcting it on screen, printing it out, proofing and correcting the hard copy, and finally entering the changes on screen. For some reason known only to a neurologist or psychiatrist changing the form of a document enables me to see errors I can’t see in the unchanged document.
