Ah that brings back the memories.


I remember working with my friend and business partner Dann. Truly a genius when it came to coding.

I would write a program that wouldn't work, spend hours trying to find out why and finally take it to him. He would usually find the problem in a matter of minutes (or less). He had this way of looking at source code with absolutely no preconceived notions of what was right and what was wrong. He would just digest it a line at a time and the bad line would jump out at him.

I was never able to develop that knack.

I got pretty good at spec'ing out a program -- determining what variables would need to be defined, what the general structure of the program would be, what the interface would look like. But Dann was the one who could write the clean code to really make it work.
