|    /   \       Hey Al, you seem                              |      |        |
|   <  --00    troubled. What's on          Do you really      (_(_)  3        |
|   |    _\ /      your mind?                wanna know?       |      |        |

|            I'm asking! If you're                          /                  |
|          having any problems, then         Well....I was doing some thinking |
|         let's talk about it. Chances         last night, and I came to the   |
|              are I've been there.          conclusion that there is but one  |
|                                            truly serious problem in software |
|          \                                     development, and that is the  |
|            ....?                                 question of suicide.        |
|                                                                              |
|                                                                              |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|                                                                              |
|                                                              \\//\\//        |
|   The software developer is trapped in a futile search       | ---  |        |
|   for meaning and clarity in a world of imperfect tools      (0)(0) 3        |
|   and techniques. Lest he is an arrogant fool, he knows      |      |        |
|   that his work is imperfect. His code will surely        \  |--    |        |
|   contain bugs, security vulnerabilities will be found,       \____/         |
|   holes will appear, and his system will bend and                            |
|   eventually break.                                                          |
|                                                                              |
|   He knows that one day his creation will no longer resemble                 |
|   the pristine artform that he had envisioned. In the beginning,             |
|   his creation is analagous to DaVinci's Last Supper, as he                  |
|   boldly experiments with new mediums that distinguish his                   |
|   piece from the rest. But while his creation is beautiful,                  |
|   it is not durable. Over the years, layers of patches will be               |
|   applied in an attempt to restore the crumbling masterpiece.                |
|   But those who attempt to restore the piece will not be DaVincis,           |
|   will not share his vision, and eventually little of the original           |
|   creation will be left.                                                     |
|                                                                              |
|   He is enlightened to the fact that any non-trivial software system,        |
|   no matter how well designed, is nothing more than                          |
|   a tenuously constructed scaffolding. Yet he ventures forth anyways,        |
|   armed with the programmatic equivalents of crazy glue, duct tape,          |
|   and cheap hacks mixed with glitter. He is much like Sisyphus               |
|   in his quest, pushing his rock up the mountain, only to                    |
|   watch it roll down again for eternity. Faced with the realization          |
|   of the absurdity of his situation, what should he do?                      |
|                                                                              |
|                                                                              |
|     ___                                                                      |
|    /   \         Hmm....sounds interesting.                                  |
|   <  --00       Listen, I got a one o'clock                                  |
|   |    _\  /  meeting to go to, so I gotta run.                              |
|    \___/       Oh yeah, and your self-eval is                                |
|             due by Friday afternoon, don't forget.                           |
|                                                                              |
