My manager doesn't know a thing about programming, and in fact he
failed the intro to critical thinking course at his college. He's
scared of truth tables. He's bored and picks fights. He spent my bonus
on a new VGA monitor for his second office. When I want to change my
syntax colors, he has to get permission from his bartender. He is
living proof that knowledge is not power. I'm impractically idealistic.
I have abstractions to reuse code if aliens abduct us. (They are
UFO_String and NonUFO_String.) I have macros for the number 1, because
'one' is easier to read. Some of my code has an accessor
method for the number 1, one(), just in case its value changes. We're
going to fire each other. In other news, I don't really have one.

If customers are stupid, should you sell stupid software?
