Here is a great one from Bob Pease who was an analog engineering legend, and wrote columns exclusively for Electronic Design magazine until his death in 2011. Bob obtained a BSEE from MIT in 1961 and was a staff scientist at National Semiconductor Corp., Santa Clara, CA, for many years. He had a sense of humour and knew a bit about chilli too. This recipe was seriously published in an electronic design magazine a few years ago.
What's all this recipe engineering stuff, anyhow?

Reminds me of a CS major here at Ivy Tech who placed his code in alphabetical order, and complained when it wouldn't work.
True story. I was in the same class. The entire class (incl. the professor) was unable to speak. The first sound (from a classmate) was 'Ummmmmmmm....'.
I still don't know what happened to the guy, as I haven't seen him for a while.

He's probably a project manager.

That is just terrible....Oy, how embarrassing for him. And he didn't even realize just how stupid what he had done was.

That's probably an honest mistake if he learned Basic first. Basic has the numbers before each line and he may have thought to sort it alphanumerically.

This was Python. AFAIK he did the same thing in his C++ class.

I think he got a job writing unit tests for regular expressions engines.

Very nice. "When smoke gets in your eyes..."
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Very nice indeed. We are in your debt for these updates every day - making up for some of the other changes we see every day
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

Cool. They make the bagpipe interesting.

Great minds think alike!

I had to reread that three times to get the "Pipers". I was already thinking, "Wow, they have the Red Hots at their company Christmas, and got them to play with some bagpipe guys, weird but amazing !"

My daughter played the bagpipes as part of a band. It was okay until it was our turn to host practice night.

My eldest plays piano, when she was learning at the start, that was a headache, now she is learning the flute.......o.m.g.!

My son damn near ruined the saxophone for me, it was a relief when he moved to the drums.
