Real Programmers know every nuance of every instruction and use them all in every Real Program. Real Programmers despise petty restrictions. Real Programmers don't like the team programming concept. Unless, of course, they are the Chief Programmer. Real Programmers have no use for managers.
Managers are sometimes a necessary evil.
Managers are good for dealing with personnel bozos, bean counters, senior planners and other mental defectives. Real programmers ignore schedules. Real Programmers don't bring brown bag lunches to work. If the vending machine sells it, they eat it. If the vending machine doesn't sell it, they don't eat it.
