>>floppy disk

Card deck, not floppy. Just have a Tesla drive itself up to the computer and load the cards. Hope there are sequence numbers in case the car overturns.

78 here. Computer language designer so I never had to actually USE all those parentheses and semicolon thingies.

But I think the comments WILL be informative. That type of coder won’t be able to resist letting his code readers know what sort of clever hacks he’s done. He’ll know they’ll all be giggling and cheering him on.
