Guess how I learned query/replace in Emacs in 1985?

My friend who copied my Pascal programming assignment is now a director at a $1B hedge fund. I'm the founder of a series of scrappy, ramen noodle startups. I guess it's the "Senator Blutarsky" effect:

The skill of getting others to do work for you is highly valued in the Director and C-suites.


I think my friend might have known that in 1985. I just figured it out this morning, and by now all the good hedge fund manager jobs are taken.
