I took a compiler construction extension course offered by Stanford in the summer of 1982. That covered all I needed to know. Modern compiler technology is just more of the the same.
My experience at Boeing has been surprisingly useful in writing software.
Besides, perhaps you don't realize how cool jet engines are? :-) Taking that class was very satisfying for me.
Haha. I recall watching a video of one of your D talks when you talk about your car. Was it a mustang, charger, or challenger? I guess I can see where a love of jet engines would come from.
