    No, mice were for those with the luxury of paper tape: we were all punch cards which needed cat-tooth holes. Besides, we couldn't afford the cheese.

      I wonder if other industries are populated with the sort of person who posts questions like:

      Iam unable to find the code for [redacted]. Ihave been searching for [redacted] but didnt found any exact code. Please help

      Do they really believe that the job of a developer consists purely of Cut & Paste? Discuss.

            Clearly the problem is that your thingies aren't aligned properly on your disky. To fix, run "format C:\"

                                  Just for the hell of it, I'll be optimistic. That implies that an old timer like myself (and many others in this lounge) don't have to worry about job security. Well, at least until the above-referenced cretins take over the management positions.

                                    In this day and age where youth are programmed to have their thinking done for them, I do not find this surprising. My experience as a lead tech for a service department says yes, there are other afflicted industries. The electronic technicians that are turned out these days are unable to troubleshoot effectively but they are good* at swapping parts until the device works. *Good being far to generous a term to describe their skills as an electronic technician.

                                    It was broke, so I fixed it.

                                        I wonder if other industries are populated with the sort of person who posts questions like:

                                        Do they really believe that the job of a developer consists purely of Cut & Paste? Discuss.

                                        Writing code is hard! Well, actually, it's all that thinking you have to do before writing the code.

                                          I call them Jimmy Kodes[^]. A few characteristics includes, 1. They never wanted to be developers/programmers. 2. They took a course about programming, by being impressed by Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page etc. 3. Even if you give them code, they would come back and say, how to deploy it? Finally, I have learnt that the solution to them is only to ignore them or at best, give them a RTFM look! :laugh:

                                          The shit I complain about It's like there ain't a cloud in the sky and it's raining out - Eminem ~! Firewall !~
