Why, thank you.

Whenever I see that I'm writing something that's been written before, I
turn it into a library routine. Module. Structured program. Reusable
component. Whatever the same old idea will called next decade.

I respect no other rule of software ``engineering.'' I would be insulted
by any implication that I believed the mounds of unjustified crap that
are associated with software ``engineering.''

I am proud not to be a software engineer.
