Sounds like the author doesn't really enjoy programming.
For those who like it, its the closest thing to magic.
That "life sitting down" line at the end is a salient point, but pretty much everyone sits down at a computer these days to work.

The true answer might be to redesign both projects with open extensible interfaces to connect with each other. However, you won't have the time to do it in the 16 hour deadline period.
- zenbowman 14y agoSure, but there are sucky jobs in any field. For the most part, I've had very positive experiences in my 8 years as a software professional, with the exception of when I wrote J2ME ports on 64kb phones. There are tons of interesting problems in the field and in general, my coworkers have been very smart people.
