_________________________________________________________________________________ / A novice programmer was once assigned to code a simple financial \ | package. | | The novice worked furiously for many days, but when his master | | reviewed his program, he discovered that it contained a screen editor, a set | | of generalized graphics routines, and artificial intelligence interface, | | but not the slightest mention of anything financial. | | When the master asked about this, the novice became indignant. | | "Don't be so impatient," he said, "I'll put the financial stuff in eventually." | \ -- Geoffrey James, "The Tao of Programming" / ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
