[ale] [SEMI-OT] Skills for programmers/engineers?

[Jim Kinney]

OK. Out performing most high school students athletically sadly is easier
now than 20 years ago. I can't outdo my 18 year old self now. Too many
years behind a desk. But I'm working on it .
Martial arts is an oddball example of experience vs youth. I watched a
master ignore all the distraction strikes of a young black belt until he
saw the hole he wanted and POW! he slammed in a single strike that had he
not pulled it would have put the youngster with blurred hands on the mat.
The kook on the kids face was priceless!
