One of my favorite stories was my walking past a PhD math guy agonizing over a bug in his massive Fortran code. The print out was two inches thick. I made my usual comment, not even slowing my pace as I walked by his desk…. something like: that comma looks like it is in column 80 on your list of passed arguments. Well, that was his bug and I think I forever got more respect from him than I ever deserved.
