Fear of getting fired
-
In light of all the recent articles and comments about outsourcing, and job loss, I thought I'd pass this along: The master programmer moves from program to program without fear. No change in management can harm him. He will not be fired, even if the project is cancelled. Why is this? He is filled with Tao. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

"The Tao gave birth to machine language. Machine language gave birth to the assembler. The assembler gave birth to the compiler. Now there are ten thousand languages. Each language has its purpose, however humble. Each language expresses the Yin and Yang of software. Each language has its place within the Tao. But do not program in COBOL if you can avoid it." Well said!:-D Heard in Bullhead City - "You haven't lost your girl -
you've just lost your turn..." [sigh] So true... -
Thanks to Outsourcing, NAFTA, and H1Bs, it won't be long before the only people who can afford to buy US made products will be CEO's and Chief Programmers. PsiKlone
Well this article will truly annoy you! :) However, it is at least offset by a truly stunningly beatiful cover : http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.02/full.html[^] (note: This is completely work safe) ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

[sigh] So true...The first job I ever had I met an older guy, who kind of showed me the ropes, and was an absolutely elegant and brilliant programmer, and he let me borrow his copy of "The Tao Of Programming". I laughed so hard and long, people started to come by my cube thinking I was having some kind of breakdown (I had been hired to help rewrite insurance software that was 13 years old, hacked together in IBM compiled basic, and the epitome of "spaghetti" code, but sadly, I got sucked into maintaining it as the rewrite team was in analysis paralysis). ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

Hey Roger: I saw your note about your power bill earlier today. What ever happened to the extra teaching/tech work? Did it pan out at all?
Not really... I'm still teaching two (well, maybe one after tomorrow - only two students) classes at the college. The other stuff was just a bit of electrician work - fun and games and yanking cables for a day. Heard in Bullhead City - "You haven't lost your girl -

I liked Prolog, but it was too hard to wrap my old brain around the concept of predicate logic after years of procedural programming. But I still think that if you start a young kid out on that language before his/her thought patterns are canalized, you could see some amazing things done with the language. I have a copy of Prolog in a more or less current incarnation on this computer, but I haven't had time to play with it. Maybe some day...:sigh: Heard in Bullhead City - "You haven't lost your girl -

I remember the text based games the use to teach AI - I must say it's much less addictive than, say, "Ultima" (Sorry, that was the last role-playing game I play) :) But, I heard even guys in NASA use Prolog.
