You Win! that is the best!
"Scaramouche! Scaramouche! can you code a little better?
Spare him his life from this framework that you see!"
I played R&R R&B for 30+ years. Got tired of the drama and gave up.

How about "code life years"?
The average app's life is 5 years; if yours go "legacy", is there a bonus?
How about a death march that gets canned? A wash? Or do you go negative?
The Master said, 'Am I indeed possessed of knowledge? I am not knowing. But if a mean person, who appears quite empty-like, ask anything of me, I set it forth from one end to the other, and exhaust it.'

I agree! Young programmers today have it REALLY EASY... when I was in my 20's, it was the late 80's and everything you wrote was original. There was no internet, no github, no codebase we were taught and got in the habbit of writing reusable functions so you could use them in other programs. When you bought the Microsoft C compiler, it came with a library of manuals. We used to hire engineers based on how many they memorized, because the more they had memorized, the less time they would spend function searching.
Today, all the reusable functions are online, the manuals are online, programmers today just patch together the methods we wrote in my generation, put together a UI, debug and they have a program. The only "real" programming comes in those rare cases where the code is not available online.
The outcome, more programs are published...but are they comprised of lines of code written? I would estimate the real number is less than 10% for most applications!

I see what you did there! 
But I'll let the others have it - I did yesterdays.

Nope. I don't have to and I won't. I'm guessing Rickrolling ... or worse, a Justin Bieber track.

I just saw this earlier. Well, that sucks. RIP, Rutger.

I still reckon one of his best/most realistic/natural/believable characterization was in Hitcher.
it's one of the few movies that actually upset me.
|
|
|
|
|
I agree, but I was even more upset that someone in Hollywood felt the need to remake it recently.
|
|
|
|
|
agree the remake was a stupid idea, wasn't that old, (wasn't a huge hit either), why???
... didn't watch it, never will - the Hauer version was too damn good perfect

He lived just down the road from me. We'd bump into each other, when he was over here.
The movies made him look a lot younger and fitter than he was. He suffered quite badly, in the past few years.

He was born in Breukelen, the Netherlands, just a few km's away from my house.
Trivia - Brooklyn (NY) was originally called Breukelen.
