Please - just for a laugh - go post in comp.lang.c++ what you've posted here. That is, if you have the courage of your convictions. > Although in Quebec, I would have to call myself an Engineer. > > As for you, how are things at Mac'ers? What, you mean working as a highly paid software engineer? Fine. (Sorry, but I'm not sure Architect titles count - anyone can call themselves an architect - even losers who don't understand design patterns). -- People in the killfile (and whose posts I won't read) as of 4/13/2004 9:06:43 PM: Peter Kohlmann, T.Max Devlin.

Oh for gods sake are you guys competing in some sort of blowhard olympics ? Engineer schmengineer, architect schmarcitect. Cut the chest beating (both of you) it doesn't impress anyone. What's worse, indeed almost embarrassing is fucking up *really* basic stuff in your enthusiasm to beat your chests and blow your horns about how good you are (AFAICT both of you seem reasonably knowledgeable though I can't say I've paid too much attention to this posing contest). If I were Phil the prince of insufficient light (see Dilbert), I'd come down and "darn" you both to spend an hour debugging some slashdot kiddies perl experiments.
