I didn't feel comfortable hacking up the code of a Real Programmer.

Which states:

Real Programmers write programs, not documentation. Leave that to the maintenence people.

Writing documentation is boring anyways.

If there is not enough schedule pressure on the Real Programmer, he tends to make things more challenging by working on some small but interesting part of the problem for the first nine weeks, then finishing the rest in the last week, in two or three 50-hour marathons.

Are we destined to become an industry of Unix hackers and Pascal programmers?
