Dependence on Programming Experts

[Stephen Barncard]

Hey we program, and we use code. What's so technical about that?

I don't think Rev has to stoop to kindergarten level either, nor 
strive to be the buddy of non-technicals. Programming with a good 
tool is by nature technical. At some point words have to be used to 
describe things, and these words already exist.

I'd hate to have to use terms like "put the white box in here and the 
other one over there...."

I'll be programming 'til they pry the mouse out of my cold, dead fingers.

(grin)
