Should anyone be fooled

Should anyone be fooled into thinking that I am an IT expert (as described in a recent article about DigitalEve Japan in the Daily Yomiuri, Bringing Women into IT), think again. I can’t program my way out of a paper bag.

Even simple tasks confound me. I just tried to change a font in a PHP script and broke the entire thing. “Parse error on line 69” isn’t giving me the clue I need to fix the problem I created. Fortunately, I have been using our version control system, so I can undo my changes.

P.S. To get out of a paper bag, it’s best to use a knife. Programming doesn’t have quite the right edge.
