Yeah, it's weird. And for all it's inefficiency, there are absolutely brilliant things to be learnt that you'd never come up with it all. I'm not sure it's specific to programming, but I find it dismaying to see how many solved problems we still need to fight with every day just because the people that originally wrote the code never paused to think enough about the theory behind it all.
