It's the MLC, not the infidelity

[SirPrizeMe]

My best buddy, met him in college, I love this guy, anyway, we came from two different places. My dad drove a truck delivering bread every morning, then moved into insurance sales and from there into investment management and advising. sort of a self-made guy, seat-of-the-pants approach, never got a college degree, never was much for reading (that I saw).

My bud's father was an engineer, certified and registered. Worked on real engineering problems, margins of safety, equations, specifications, regulatory compliance, etc. Ongoing professional education.

Anyway this buddy of mine went on to work as an engineer himself at a Dept of Energy plant - lots of control and oversight, the very highest engineering principles. I went on to work in software, which calls itself an engineering discipline but is really about craftwork.

interesting study in contrasts. I am trying to apply my buddy's sense of discipline and rigor to my current problems, rather than fly seat-of-the-pants, which is what I had been doing, and which is not working.
