- mxh 19y ago"and 99% of what we program" That seems consistent w/the "95% of what we teach" number. As Douglas Adams wrote, a computer "...was, on the other hand, very good at being a slow and dim-witted pupil. ... And the more slow, and dim-witted the pupil, the more you have to break things down into more and more simple ideas. And that's really the essence of programming."
