&quot;I&#x27;m kind of confused by everyone being called an engineer now. In my day, an engineer was somebody who had an engineering degree, like a civil or mechanical engineer. But programmers or systems analysts weren&#x27;t that. Do software engineers have engineering degrees?&quot;<p>- Joan Greenbaum

&gt;Clark Squire is now known as Sundiata Acoli. He’s still in prison, on a different charge.<p>That charge is for killing a state trooper for which he got a life sentence. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Assata_Shakur#New_Jersey_Turnpike_shootout" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Assata_Shakur#New_Jersey_Turnp...</a>

Interesting how back then programming was a woman&#x27;s job and the racial divide between programmers and operators.
