  We can't bust code like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to write goto statements that don't go anywhere. So I ran a bourn shell in my emacs, which was the style at the time. Now just to build the source code cost an hour, and in those days, timesheets had hours on them. Take my five hours for $20, we'd say. They didn't have blue checkmarks, so instead of tweeting, we'd just finger each other. The important thing was that I ran a bourn shell in my emacs, which was the style at the time... In those days, we used to call it jiggle coding.
