Eh. It's not hard to impress other people in IT right now. You can work from home, do maybe two hours of "work" a day, and get paid six figs for it. The hard part is keeping yourself mentally comfortable living the lie enough that you care to show up. That's actually shockingly hard in my experience.
I'm a little confused about why you think the New Jersy approach to software implies a lack of determinism. Panicking after a failed assertion seems like a cheap strategy to achive that IMO.
