REPOST: Re: Video Programming

[Joshua Muskovitz]

Personally, the thought of using a VR system to write code is an extremely
unpleasant thought.  However, I *have* seen some fun come of the idea of
using First Person Shooters as unusual interfaces.

I saw a version of doom where the monsters were all representations of the
currently running processes, and you could shoot them to kill the process.
Rather cathartic, and there is a certain amount of justice in having an ill
behaved app able to shoot back at you.  :-)
