On which occasion did programming knowledge help you the most?

Question

Show the world that programming is sexy :)

Answer 1

Well there was this one time it helped me. Aliens had invaded earth and their victory against the human race seemed inevitable. Against all odds I programmed a virus that an ace pilot uploaded into the mothership using a captured fighter craft. The virus was successful in severing communications between the mothership and the invasion forces and the earth was saved!

Answer 2

You must be a movie star :)
