Here's a thing. I gave a short prezzie followed by an AMA on Thursday, for young persons, college-aged. It went well, thanks.
But in the *chat*, a student remarked on the fact that I was smoking. (I was outdoors, I work outdoors for as long as I can, about five months a year.)
And the student noted that I was a smoker, and that many hardcore devs seem to be smokers. And asked whether smoking helped people become pro geeks.
I've rarely been presented such a wonderful teaching moment.
