Ten years ago, while I was usng Advanced Revelation as my tool of choice
in my consulting business, AREV was developing a reputation for crashing
because the new CEO was pushing "upgrades" out the door to meet
deadlines that would give him bonuses, not because the version was
ready.
Developers began writing a chain story (we were on Compu$erve at the
time). It started when one developer began writing a parody of a
particular bug, in a melodramatic way, and concluded with "... and then
...". Another developer would extend the story and end with another
"cliff hanger". After a month it was getting hallarious. One developer
was incredibly gifted, to the point of awesome. I sent him an email
asking how he learned to write so well and where did he come up his
brilliant story lines. He said that he used to be an ad writer for a
New York Ad Agency, but the hyprocisy turned him off and he jumped to
programming.
Moral: Programmers arn't always "just" gifted nerds. We have a range
of talents and skills.
