Gates Puzzled by Lack of Programmers

Seems Bill Gates is mystified why someone would want to become, say, a gym teacher rather than a software programmer. "I mean, are they making breakthroughs like speech recognition or artificial intelligence? I'm dying to see these new games they're inventing," he said.

Speaking as a former high school teacher, I'd say gym teachers, and others -- faced with youths speaking an incomprehensible patois and pretending to know what they don't -- make progress in speech recognition and artificial intellegence every day. Computer programming, on the other hand -- that shit is hard!

Anyway, Bill's in luck. HP just laid off 14,500 people.
