FWIW, after my programming skills became hopelessly outdated, with an economics degree and too old to start over, I generally promoted my skillset as a translator between business and tech teams.
A lot of what I received as input was more like the first type of instruction, what I sent to the actual development team was closer to the second.
I couldn't get an email or post to work correctly to the author, so hoping they find this.
Thank you to the shout out to my father, Preston Fleet, for his work on developing Omnimax and everything is the article is factually correct. He died young after also building Fotomat and WD40 (and funding the Cabaret movie, for which he shared an Oscar). He shied away from the spotlight and named everything after his contributors because he was kind. And a totally shock the author knew about his presidency at the American Theatre Organ Society, which my mother followed after his death. Unfortunate selfish to say in a public forum, but really just want to thank the article's author in some way
Thanks! email to me@computer.rip should work, sorry if it has given you trouble. Theater organs are one of my weird little interests, so maybe it's a leap but when I saw a tangential mention that Preston Fleet had been a theater organist some of the dramatic design features of many Omnimax theaters (like the glass-walled projection rooms and displaying the speakers in the preshow) made more sense to me. They're similar to the way many theater organs were installed, especially as they started to become such a niche instrument.
I very much agree. Retired now but I used to have a separate phone for each major client for HIPAA compliance but it's good advice everywhere (and $50 year-old android phones and $15/month Tracfone accounts aren't just for criminals!)
