I’m convinced that a large % of programmers don’t actually like computers. As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their reasoning to a model as soon as they can. I don’t get it, at ALL. Don’t you *LIKE* understanding the magic of the machine? You do realize hand-programming (I hate that I even have to specify hand now) is fun…right?

Why is there so much anti-LoC rhetoric? At some point, more features, edge cases, security, and reliability require more code. There’s no magic abstraction that lets you build an operating system in 500 lines. Unless you’re building a todo app, you’ll need lots of code.
