This is really cool if you are a "real" programmer

Read this article for the first time in 1994 and was pleased to see that SGI still had it on their site...

Read it, laugh, think and think again...

And this... This is "hard stuff"... MAN!!! This is sooo cool...

One short example from the page (TM Silicon Graphics),

Futurist Programming Exercises

• * Remove all system files that haven't been accessed in the last 6 months. Ours works fine!
  * Write a program that dynamically generates code.
  * Try indenting from right to left.
  * What is the shortest program that will accomplish your task?
  • o lowest number of characters in source.
    o smallest executable.
    o executes least number of instructions.
  * Write a program using assembly language. Compare this to a C++ implementation

It will change your life forever... Hehe...

Did the person who wrote that stuff really mean it?
Or is it just written for a good laugh?

This ones pretty good (concidering todays modern languages)

Object-Oriented = slow and bloated and late and buggy.

For a good laugh I think, but also a bit serious... Sometimes it makes me stop and think, though...

The part "How would you wash a window?" is so true - and I'll try to think of it when I manage a software developer project at work...
