Re: The Evolution of a Programmer (humor)

in Milliways
What's wrong with format 10 20 ? All the others look like a way to justify 100K a year salary. :) It's too direct, too simple. Too reasonable. ;) Not much unlike a basic "Hello World" written in Pascal or K&R C. Once you're into programming for a while, the primal instinct of a programmer takes …
