I personally think that people should have to be licensed before they are
allowed to program. Give them 4K of RAM, 4K of ROM and say "you have to
write a chess game that plays a decent game of chess in this
configuration. If you can't do it, you *FAIL*." I am so bloody sick and
tired of apps that should be lightning fast on PII/350 machines that run
like dog crap and take 20 megs of RAM just to load up. That and the
aggressively igorant attitude of the asswipes who think that because
they're using C++ constructs that their programs are "object oriented",
and couldn't even install a hard drive themselves without calling IT
(another rant for another time). The fact is most "programmers" wouldn't
be writing a single line of code if they had no memory/resources to waste.
