I don't know the guy being interviewed, but he's dumb as >a rock. Interesting to me was the fact that "IBM taught so many how >to program, programmers became a dime a dozen." Last time I looked, >UAB graduates were making over $40K a year after graduation.. Thanks for the reply, folks. My intention in posting this was to pass on something I got from a friend. I'm not such an experienced programmer that I can tell a hoax from the truth (though, at least I did some digging about a kidney-theft story I got one time). Some of the comments in the "interview" were telling, such as the size of an executable for hello.cpp being half a meg (under the unix g++ compiler), plus comments about code re-use. In my six years as a decently paid C and Xbase programmer the amount of code re-use I was able to do effectively was not very high. Anyway, thanks for responding to my post. Kai Middleton
