        do u know programming is like a poetry? A- 20% of software engineering is programming B- 80% of SE is not programming C- 80% of SE depends upon 20% of SE 1- if u put your 80% energy on 80% of SE part mean other than programming u will get just 20% of your SE. 2- if u put your 20% energy on 20% of SE part mean programming u will get 80% of your SE. So, which rule is the best to save your energy?:cool: Isn't it the center of thoughts like poetry. One stanza of poetry opens unknown no.s of thoughts & meaning.:rose:

        From what I understand, the code for the .NET garbage collector is actually written in iambic pentameter for the sake of efficiency.
