Indeed.  I think I'd have an easier time writing machine code directly 
in hex.

That guy doesn't seem to grasp that many real world problems have 
solutions that "evolve".  A lot of the time, a programmer isn't 
*completely* sure exactly how the program logic will work until it's 
well on its way to being written, no?  I mean, I'll have a general idea 
on how everything will fit together, but I'll get the details done as I 
come across them.

Peace...  Sridhar
