It is here that the stereotype of the programmer, sitting in a dim room, growling from behind Coke cans, has its origins.

The messiness cannot go into the program; it piles up around the programmer.”

To pretend they do not, to fail to recognize that they have needs for support and validation like any child, would be bad teaching, bad writing, and bad citizenship.”
