    Has anyone else noticed a new trend in UserID names here? There are a number of individuals using the format "Name / xxx programmer". I truly inspire greatness. :)

        Does this mean we'll be trending towards unemployed developers now? Sorry, I know I shouldn't have. But as it is unlikely that JSOP will have trouble finding employment, I figured I could. ;P //L

          You are indeed an inspiration and a model for all new developers. I myself was thinking about changing my name to one of: 1.21 Gigawatts / Static Programmer 1.21 Gigawatts / Shock Programmer 1.21 Gigawatts / Isolated Programmer 1.21 Gigawatts / Don't touch this Programmer But can't make up my mind... :)

                                          Has anyone else noticed a new trend in UserID names here? There are a number of individuals using the format "Name / xxx programmer". I truly inspire greatness. :)
