Application programming is for feebs who can't do systems programming. Real programmers don't eat quiche. Real programmers don't even know how to spell quiche. They eat Twinkies, Coke and palate-scorching Szechwan food. Real programmers don't draw flowcharts.
Flowcharts are, after all, the illiterate's form of documentation.
Real programmers don't read manuals. Reliance on a reference is a hallmark of the novice and the coward. Real programmers programs never work right the first time. But if you throw them on the machine they can be patched into working in only a few 30-hours debugging sessions. Real programmers don't use Fortran.
