  • Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
  • Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
  • This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

    My father was a programmer before me. His father was an engineer. His father I think was also technically minded, although more of a businessman than engineer. Even my last name suggests that my family has been full of tinkerers and technically minded people for centuries.

    Wanting to save money on gaming PCs led me to building my own computer. Wanting to host my own web comic led me to server administration. Those two things were the start of it all.
