Many years ago (c. 1985) I was at a job interview and the interviewer asked me what the first thing I would do when I am presented with a new problem that I had to code up. I gave all sorts of answers like 'do a top down analysis of the problem,' and 'get the specs and requirements,' and 'write a flow chart.' Each time the interviewer said no even before that. Finally I said, what, what would do first? He said "Turn the computer on." I decided then and there I did not want to work for that guy. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
