The Master, The Expert, The Programmer

Great story! And I remember another one as told by the Great Master Craig Larman - quote from memory.

When you start working as a programmer, mountains are mountains and rivers are rivers.

Then you start learning new things, tips and tricks, so mountains are no longer mountains and rivers are no longer rivers.

And a few will reach such a level when mountains are again mountains and rivers are again rivers.

I'm not trying to be complete or comprehensive, I was just trying to understand. Do what you like, but understand that some people may object more strongly than I.

I do understand. As you understand that some people (not me) disagreee with the whole dup-police thing. I like the way you do your thing -- I wish you liked mine -- to each his own.

It's still a good essay -- I wrote about it at the time.
