- I disagree. A good development may (note, I say *may*) help the
- programmer in his work, enabling him to deliver faster and/or spend
- more time on the algorithms (where the greatest speedup opportunities
- are almost always to be found).
-
- Of course, all *great* programs are written by *real* programmers

- But this is digressing from the subject of compilers...
