Back in hs in the 00s my math teacher had a rule that you could use any program on your calculator if you wrote it yourself. She checked it by giving you a unique code and in the program it had to respond with your name.

I wrote a program each week to basically do the test. But I also wrote a wrapper which modified each program for any given code and name. It connected to the calculator, modified the program, copied program to calculator. I sold access to the program for 5 dollars per week.

    This went on for well over a year. Team lead was a nice guy, got promoted to team lead and decided everyone else was shit.

    Last I heard coworker was doing something with the cutting blades on tractors and harvesters so he had a happy ending

    Also years later I had a friend message me "hey former lead applied for a management job where I work and I saw he worked at company you did. Was he any good?" I told him all these stories and the former lead didn't even get an interview

    Funny enough he "quit" when the lead said something to him(don't know what) and he told the lead to shut up. The lead responded with "you're on the clock, you can't speak to me that way"... He proceeded to punch out at the time clock, tell the lead "fuck you" and walked out...
