BTW, I hear this "programming in anger" phrase from time to
time. The phrase strikes me as juvenile. Me, I believe in programing
for fun if I am going to be juvenile. Life is too short to be angry. One
needs far more serious reasons than programming to be angry.
There's a viewpoint. Not how I would have interpreted the phrase...
I think it is a perfectly good phrase. It comes from "shots fired in
anger" as in a real war as opposed to shots fired just for practice. It
is analagous to just messing around with a programming language purely
for practice or exploration versus actually using a programming language
for real work that you could get fired for if it goes badly.
