Funny, but true: I'm A Programmer, Not A Computer Guy

This is so true, but even though I'm not a "computer guy", I still know more then the average person would. This gives me great power in bull-shitting an answer out that could satify the normal non-computer personel.

His analogy here is funny:

""Did you watch the Raiders game?"

"No, I don't follow football ------"

"What do you think of the new quarterback?"

"Really, football's not my thing. I don't know."

"I thought that you said that you're a sports fan?"

"No, I said that I watched tennis."

"Right, so what did you think of the penalty called in the Raiders game?"

"I watch tennis."

"Why would they call a penalty like that?""


This reminds me of two quotes:

"Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." - Professor Edsger Dijkstra

"Beware of programmers who carry screwdrivers." - Brandwein, Leonard
