What's the best mistake you've evermade?LukeCrawfordUpdatedSunI sent a job application to thewrong email address. It was 1997, I was a kid working tech support at a localISP called jps.net. I knew C and had taught myself Perl during downtime.I was applying for a Programmer I position at the university where my dadworked. I sent my resume along with a really long university application.Instead of sending the packet to [email protected], I sent it to [email protected]—it had been a long day doing techsupport.A few days later, the head of the NOC called me into his office.Before I really had time to be nervous, he started interviewing me. He gave mea page of a C program and asked me what it did. I didn't really get it atfirst, so I went through line by line explaining it. I recognised the port forPOP3 and gethostbyaddr() andthe guy seemed to be getting more and more excited.In one of the funnier cases of title inflation, they called me“staff programmer”. That's one rank up from senior programmer. I was 17. (Theypaid me Programmer I wages, though.)
