11/30/2004 Entry: "Seeing Beyond"

I visited the Silicon Valley, my profession's homeland, which is presently under siege by the
snatch-and-grab Outsourcers. The valley is strewn with the rotting corpses of dead careers.
The conflicts rage on, and victory is uncertain. Still, hope lingers in the hearts and keyboards
of an embattled few.

Seeing Beyond

From the movie, "Full Header Packet":

TRACEBACK:

You listen to Token, new guy. He knows ti ti. Very little. You
know he's never been in the shit, 'cause he ain't got the stare.

RASTERMAN:

The stare?

TRACEBACK:

The Thousand Line Stare.

A programmer gets it after she's been debugging shit for too
long. It's like... it's like you've really seen beyond.

I got it. All C Programmers got it. And you'll have it too.

And... Cut! And Print.
