Yup, one step lower....
So far Dan seems to be winning the definition of "real men",
Of course we are being really sexist with this talk of "real men", and we should probably change it to "real programmers" to take into account both sexes. On the other hand, probably women are smart enough to make use of good tools to create good programs, and not join in this folly.
Yeah, real women use base pair programming using adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine encoding... with encryption strong enough that the rest of us are still only slowly decoding it yet, and evolutionary computing methods that have produced some interesting results...
