"I Before E"

I think the "i before e" rule is the dumbest rule because it has too many caveats: "except after c, or when sounding like "ay" as in neighbor and weigh" ... and that doesn't even cover them all! How about, "and in East Europe names such as Dweir and Stein, and some others like height that just won't toe the line. English is weird, and English is feisty. The science of language does not work out nicely" Ugh. The human species seized upon language, their vein of tools foreign from other species. And a rhyme is not sufficient to categorize our sound-scribbles. Well that sounded super pretentious, but really those sentences were just a thin veil covering what's really just a list of words that don't follow the "rule" either.

Wired In

/* "Wired in" is a real thing.

Programming just has this thing about it... you go and go and go then a strange realization almost like waking up happens... */

printf ("I have been programming for %lf hours and %d lines of code have appeared!\n", many_hours, lots_lines);

/* I love it!!! */

It's how this...


gets transformed into...





this:

!!!!

"Throughout the movie, you hear the phrase “wired in” thrown around. It’s a term they use to explain when a programmer is concentrating on creating lines and lines of code."
