    Roger that. My notion is that fixing mechanical devices
    trains the mind. Code jockeys know that writing software
    is a constant exercise in logic, consequently software
    types are often the most logical people I know, the best
    at diagnosing and fixing problems. Good programmers
    use logic tools to design a good reliable product.

    Fixing machines forces one to reason out why a problem
    exists. Review the first chapter in "Surely You're
    Joking, Mr. Feynman" called "He fixes radios by THINKING!"
