I was a contractor for GE Capital, IT Solutions for two and a half years, probably more back in 1998 thru around 2002, several months into the job, mostly being and IBM representative, I was programming with a small team computer in a school system that was supposed to last about a week, the main programmer had to fly to Texas for an emergency, and the job was left to me to continue, I received a call that my daughter was going to be in the Jeffersontown Gaslight Parade about four hours later, and I was probably going to miss it, but my last job, I learned at the Radio Shack regional computer repair center, the only way I could make a living, was to reload ten computers at once, having done that for over a year before they sold to Compaq, I thought I could handle these 32 computers in just a few hours, (which I did, and made it to see my daughter btw) :) That was a friday, and the next monday, I was told that I completed the job too fast, and to never do that again, as several programmers were idled because of that. well, the next month was rough, because I was either being taught a lesson, or was being put out to pasture, but soon, I was contacted by several corporations to do that for them, Appalachia Regional Hospitals, programming thousands of computers for them, Kroger, Rohm and Haas, plus many more, I smile when I think of the person that told me "Never be fast again, do you understand?" I have heard the same thing in factories as a kid running each area out of parts by speeding up the assembly lines, even being invited to work factory automation engineers in the mid 70's and even 90's
During interviews for companies the rep work say "What qualifies you to help us?" and my answer is "Because I have no competition!" :)

Around the year 2000 I was contracted to work at the Kroger data center, that just happened to be right here in Louisville.
I was reserved for three months, after I completed another reservation at Rohm and Haas updating their computer systems, and programming their Auto Cad fast reload technology.
At Kroger, after finally getting to start there after three months, in a room with about a dozen of the best programmers I have ever met (outside of Vencor, not Kindred Health Care, where a hallway with programmers that the lights had to be kept low, and they would all sit on or near the floor, a very productive group.)
In the Kroger labs, we would all work together, each one asking the expertise of each expert to quickly resolve the problem as it surfaced with an unusual high efficiency, each of their room full of servers, cost more than a nice new car at the time, I was surprised at the cleanliness that was well known for in Kroger's, and then the computer rooms, with pathways allowed for wires and connectors, I still tell customers that complain of wires everywhere, that they are getting one step closer to making a super computer, lol, even though cable management is more important there than ever, the Louisville Police Department when my mother worked there, and I helped with their first computers had all of the wires eventually under the false floor, that made everything like a space ship inside.
One day at the Kroger's data center I went in, (each day, we would go in and leave when we wanted, one of the coolest places I have ever worked outside of a gig for Microsoft) and one of the dozen people in our room was missing, and the explanation was "Fort Knox took him" (he was offered a job at such a high rate, he could not pass it by,) One of the directors that I reported to, and for three months every day told me the night before to report the next day, said "What would you charge for us to keep you on?" this was about halfway thru the three months, I gave a great price, because I wanted to work there, and the other people there were also unusual experts in their fields. (one of the other people there told me that he was being passed over for that job, not knowing that it was me, and said he was suing the company for affirmative action, I never let on that I was the person, but he ended up with the job, and as a contractor, it was just another day for me. :)

I posted this sample article of LinkedIn after being asked to submit articles on creating GUI's (Graphical User Interfaces) like Windows, Mac, et c.) :)
sample:
My experience for creating a GUI were hosting one of the first BBS's in Louisville in 1987, when individuals would visit my site, I could see their choices and build on the popularity interests and focus their energies.
Later, building HTML front end apps (webpages) and back end feedback loops (AI) I realized that HTML layers can be a great open source platform for EDI and open media among a plethora of data bases too!
