Novak Conversions Jeep Wrangler TJ engine mounts

What did you do to your TJ today?

Swapped the CAI from the PO, back to a standard stock Air Box. It was a fun garage project, and will be better for the engine in the long run. Felt like Jeep designed the air box to keep water, dust and dirt out, and a CAI does none of those things.

And likewise I've never understood why anyone would want to write assembler when 3GL's exist. And even then, I wouldn't have a career in tech if 4GLs didn't exist. Fun fact, my FORTRAN professor was part of the F77 committee. That was the first time I had experienced the importance of indentation. That was at least a minute ago....

I absolutely LOVE assembly/machine language. I think in hexadecimal, I dream in mnemonics! Where the rubber meets the road is my programming passion. HLLs are a crutch that gets between the programmer and the machine and contributes to inefficient code - but nobody cares about inefficient code these days and it shows. 1 MB for a "hello world" program and latency, latency, latency everywhere! I'm convinced that most of these code monkeys grinding out this crap code never saw the inside of a CS-101 class. I've seen my share of stupidity coming from the biggest software companies in the world that would have earned an "F" in any first semester CS class - I would have been FIRED for cause if I had written code that bad.

Don't get me wrong, HLLs certainly have their place - and I enjoy "some" of them. I did a bit of FORTRAN and it was OK, COBOL has very nice syntax from what I can see, but I never did much with it. I just don't grok the reason why ALGOL's horrid syntax has taken over the world, even though I've done a fair amount of coding in Pascal. C is just damn near unreadable - its seems every C program is a candidate for the obfuscated C code contest. A few more letters in the language's reserved words wouldn't be a bad thing (ala Pascal) - the days of 110 baud TTYs are long gone, yet this cryptic language remains king. I do respect its power and flexibility, but I want better syntax.

OTOH, I certainly wrote my share of spaghetti code in BASIC!

As long as it is strongly typed I am happy. Andy
