[tlug] better than programming (off-topic)

[Shawn Brown <big.coffee.lover@example.com>]

Apparently a lady who is now cancer researcher in England had been
chronicling her work as a prostitute, which she started to support her
PHD work, and became famous for it.  The quote I found interesting was
her describing it as "so much more enjoyable" than an earlier job as a
computer programmer.

I am shocked, absolutely shocked that anyone would say such a thing.

You can google her by name - "Brooke Magnanti" or "Brooke Magnant
computer programmer".
