That reminds me of creating a character on my EQ server named Hanks. I figured he'd always get a lot of tells based on the number of times I typed /t hanks only to be told, "character player Hanks not found".

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

We had a monk name Woot that we used to send up first against the Avatar of Fear.
Avatar of Fear shouts: WOOT!

Just as Planned.
People love to hate on the semi-colon because they think it makes them intellectual, in that they have an opinion on punctuation, but that they aren't snobby. Indeed, they are intellectual enough to see through and expose snobbishness.
But you know what? There's nothing wrong with the semi-colon. Is it the most fundamental punctuation mark? Obviously not. Does it have some use? Yes.

Blessedly so.
Need some competition show about programing and how great it is. IDK something like the "Iron Programer" or something get the bandwagoners out of my profession.
Edit: I'd buy "that" for a dollar.

There is no magic bullet for anything in software."
He's wrong.
What is true is that most people who write code for a living are mediocre at it, like every other profession, and true superstars are rare. Suggesting that more people learn to do it is along the lines of suggesting more people get exercise. Not because they'll be olympians, but because it's generally beneficial to them and to society.
That said, there are times where a solution is so efficient, so clever and elegant, and so many orders of magnitude an improvement over existing process that it is, legitimately, beautiful. People who program at a high level will understand what I mean immediately, as will mathematicians or logicians. Sometimes there is a magic bullet.
If he meant the software industry wouldn't solve every economic problem, then you should stab him in the balls with an ice pick and state "that causes pain" so you're communicating on the same level.

I love the moment when all of a sudden you realize a way to take what was looking like a slow and complicated solution and solve it in a simple elegant way. It's so satisfying. I remember agonizing over a problem in some programming contest back in school, and then all of sudden figuring out the math behind it so that it turned into basically a one line program. Awesome.
