I'm aerospace turned hacker myself. Just curious, are there any others about in the same boat?

I'm not, but two of my cousins are aerospace engineers, and hackers in the inclusive sense. I think a venn diagram showing the essential qualities of a really good engineer and a hacker would be nearly indistinguishable from a slightly elliptical circle.
I did an aero undergrad, ended up in the nuclear field (running reactors & such). While I'm not a strict software "hacker", I mess around enough to hold my own here. So yes, there are others!
