curiously enough, both black holes are understood to undergo evaporation (due to quantum tunneling) and communities undergo the so-called `evaporative cooling' -- where influx of `cold' (barely talented) members causes evaporation of the the `hot' (most talented) members. at any rate, `code removed is code debugged' is very true, but that's not something easily put on CV or boasted to friends. > (...) mob programming (...) there's a lot of substarnce to offend certain projects with, no need to merely use style. -- dexen deVries [[[↓][→]]] ``In other news, STFU and hack.'' mahmud, in response to Erann Gat's ``How I lost my faith in Lisp'' http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2308816
