- My experience is that programming in C, you develop a blind spot.
- Because some things are hard to do, you don't see them as possible
- ways of coding something.

- More programmers with blind spots? I won't argue with that. If I find
- an edge, the last thing I'm going to do is tell everyone else about it.
- If I call one of the "tricks" I use GC, and you tell me that it can't
- be an edge, then I won't disillusion you.
-
- I would wish to our software industry better tools and more productive
- programmers - so long as their software isn't competing with mine,
- that is. ;-) That's unlikely, so I'm not worried...
