   wow ... I just spotted ling's cars! Besides 'The Times', I've not spotted anything which I recognise on there. And I'm kinda surprised there aren't more porn adverts, to be honest.

    Well, no - not if everyone's raving on about how great the code is. Code quality is objective, not dependant on experience. I don't get to write crap code at my work if I'm inexperienced, I have to learn to write good code.
