From the desk of Jane Galt:Comment of the day
From Rob Lyman, whose blog is greatly missed, in a conversation about whether learning programming languages is the same as learning the spoken kind:
I'm a poor programmer whose solution to execution failures is type louder and more slowly.
As always, the winner of the coveted aware receives absolutely nothing except the gratitude of millions of adoring fans.

...and my fifteen minutes hath expired. Enjoy yours. Soon, you also will be deposed by a younger and hungrier fighter...
No, I figure when someone tries to depose me I'll just do a nude scene or two in a desperate bid for attention.
Hah! That's funny, and true. I remember doing that when programming in school.
The typing louder and slower thing, not the nude scenes (I did run the naked mile a couple times though).
as the adage goes: profanity is the language programmers know best. i just mutter underneath my breath at my computer like that scary guy on the subway sitting next to you.
that's a weird conversation though -- i find it hard to believe that someone who knows more than one natural language and more than one computer language would equate the two.
Aaron, I got a grad degree at U of M in Comp Sci. I've done the typing slower and louder, I called it strong typing. I was too old and slow to consider the naked mile, altho' I'm younger than that now.
Heh,
Yeah, I did my undergrad in IOE. I was there from 96 to late 2000.
