Notes from the underground -

Dr Odd had some interesting comments - to which I add the following:

Programming is a high-level power trip. You are a god! You have the power
of creation... When I write programs, those are my children. Except, unlike
children created from your spare genetic material, they do whatever you told
them to do. You can't blame the schools, society, or too much sugar in the
diet if they run amok - only their creator was responsible for their character
flaws. Besides, since bitheads are socially unacceptable, we have a hard
enough time convincing a pleasure partner to get sticky with us, let alone
being a parent of our offspring.
