Generations......
I was reading another blog. It has a kind of academic theme and appears to be put together by someone who works at or goes to the College of Charleston. There was a question on logic as it relates to writing computer code. Abraham Lincoln was quoted as part of the answer; "If i were given 8 hours to chop down a tree, i’d spend the first 7 hours sharpening my axe.” The point being to have a plan thought out before starting to write code.
This got me to thinking about the different generations? Of course the main difference is all the young people today are dead beats-- just kidding. Seriously, when I was kid Abe's quote had a simple meaning to most working folks; keep your axe sharp, because a dull axe would wear your ass out and The Man would put you on the road if ya couldn't keep up.
