We had a meeting to introduce a new programmer who will be working offsite.
I learned that I work with quite an interesting and diverse set of people.
A couple PhD's, A MS in Mathematics, Plenty of CS majors, mostly BS,
and a former astrophysicist.

Not in the US, that I've seen. It's usually written "B.S." here.

hehe, and I read "CS majors" as people graduated with honors in a
certain game... ;)

Sounds like a typical sampling of the POV_Ray newsgroup community, if some of
the newsgroup replies are any indication!
Me, I'm just a lowly musician, struggling along...

And I'm a bank teller, going to night school to turn my hobby into a

Somebody wrote that "Haskellers are really just mathematicians proving
trivial theorums in an interesting way using an intuivity first-order
logic" or something like that.
(By the Curry-Howard isomorphism, the type signature of any total
function that can be implemented in Haskell can be interpretted as a
logical theorum, and the Haskell function's implementation is its proof.)
