Programmers are idiots
...well, no, more the people who market them are idiots.
Listen to this gem about a 26-year-old who is "a computer programmer specializing in C/C++, Java, C#/VB.Net, VB 6.0, OpenGL, MS office component object model, NS, NesC, OpenGL, Prolog and LISP".
Gosh, guys, isn't that a bit much? I mean, would you trust a mechanic who said he specialized in Fords, Jaguars, Toyotas, Nissans, Pintos, steering wheels, hydraulics, Ferraris and remote-controlled vehicles? Or would you think he was maybe putting on airs and should really just say he was a mechanic with a wide background?
Granted, what should I expect from one of Phil's favourite weasels?
