    Joe and Mary in 1999

    Joe : I've used some inline asm to speed up that function. Mary : Joe, you know assembly? Joe : Yeah, I do. Mary : Oh Joe, you are so smart.

    Joe and Mary in 2007

    Joe : I've used some P/Invoke to speed up my C# class. Mary : Joe, you know Win API? Joe : Yeah, I do. Mary : Oh Joe, you are so smart. Regards, Nish

    Nish, That joke captures it perfectly. The way things are becoming more and more dumbed down for the "average" developer, soon the only people writing native code will be the folks at microsoft! Rich

      Nish, I'm surprised you didn't re-write that to: Joe : I've used some C++/CLI to speed up my C# class... After all, in that C++/CLI article you wrote, the interop performance there blew away P/Invoke from C#...

                      This joke is sexist. Why isn't it Mary writing the code and Joe fawning over how smart she is?

                          Right, but at least it would be ACLU/NOW-approved sexism. ;)

                                  It's about as sexist as my pencil sharpener. How about Joe writing the code and John fawning over him? Some people will read offence into anything.

                                    I agree. I prefer a sexy joke over a sexist joke anytime.

                                          This joke is sexist. Why isn't it Mary writing the code and Joe fawning over how smart she is?
