If you make "Pyrotechnic Firing Systems" I hope you write bug-free code!
I make a living writing code for military systems.

Re: what are people doing?
*MOST* of my code is bug-free. Unfortunately, when it isn't, I get calls from some pretty powerful people working for organizations that you have definitely heard of.

Re: what are people doing?
I spend most of my evenings trying to get an LED to light up ...the past few months have been a long hard slog, but I'm almost there.
Nobody important ever calls me, though my youngest son once expressed an interest in what I'm trying to do for about 33 seconds....but then he got bored when the LED didn't light up.....pah, kids - they have no vision.

Re: what are people doing?
Pyrogeek, Well during the day I design hardware and write code for a major 1st tier electronics supplier to the automotive industry. When I'm not at work for them, I design hardware and write software for a small company of my own. I love to design solar related products and my wife of 30+ years said "thats enough systems in the house". I have just finished an 8 circuit automatic load shed system for the 4000 watt inverter system I have running most of the house. I have also designed a dual axis tracking system for the 3 solar arrays I have in the back yard. I am just finishing up a MicroMaster lookalike for sale to testing labs as the company has been out of business for a few years but there is still a demand for there product. I find electronics keeps me off the streets at night. So.... what do you do for kicks?

Re: what are people doing?
thanks for the replies, i think it awesome that some of you guys get to do coding for a living, your definatly more advanced than me, lol. I've mostly only built analog firing systems, with the use of some code to give them some bells and whistles. But i am currently working on a digital system, and trust me i spend more time thinking about the BUGS than writing the code! I would hate for someone to get injured or worse because of something that i could of controlled.

Re: what are people doing?
My interests changed since couple of months, but electronics(repair/design some coding for fun) and DJ. Really busy on summer, almost 24/7. That's a lot of decibels and music
However, DJing in 2011 also mean I can design my own gear... an endless story ...
Oh yeah, I forgot... spend 2-3 minutes/week to help/solve forum user problems

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
