Born in California
Did the school thing studying electronics, computers, release engineering and literary criticism.
I worked in the high tech world doing software release engineering and am now retired.
Then I got prostate cancer.
Now I am a blogger and work in my wood shop doing scroll saw work and marquetry.
My house is like that – moved here 18 years ago as a temporary thing after I lost the lease on my other “temporary” home (was there 10 years). Someday I will find a permanent home…
Got that right! And since the code that you add is only “temporary”, you don’t need to bother to comment it in the code, or document it, right? You’ll remember it since you’ll fix it in a few days. Which somehow turns into 5 years later. 🙂

Mozilla did an update and now my homeschool program won’t work on it. I thought of you.

If it works why change it again… I wish someone would tell the WP techies that….

If a temporary fix works and does the trick there’s no incentive to make it permanent.

And it’s true for so many things, too. My church was in a temporary building for almost 10 years!

I’ve got so many “temp fixes” it’s amazing anything keeps working.

Especially one that’s repeatable. The time I’ve saved not having to really solve a problem–it’s stunning.

and if the quick fix works every time – why not.

Exactly, document temporary code? Foolish mortal.
