Programmers are used to writing code in ALL CAPS.

Nope ... Wrong ... Even FORTRAN and BASIC is not written in all Caps anymore. But it is a Pain-in-the-*** to read legacy code in all Caps.

Welllll, I confess . . .

the last time I was that close to bread and butter programmers actually doing the work in the same room was back in . . . say 1967 or thereabouts.

LOL.

Thanks.

My psychologist’s suspicion is

that DECIDING

to relate to the ALL CAPS in the LEGACY code

as positive,

would take away the pain in the kazoo aspect.

Certainly attitude can be very powerful even regarding perception.
