I'm going to print that and hang it on the wall right next to 'Real
Programmers Don't Eat Quiche'.

Thanks,

An apprentice programmer is expected to sweep loose bits off the
computer room floor, and push them onto the stack for recycling.

A journeyman programmer is expected to unstop the data pipes, and plug
up the memory leaks.

A senior programmer is expected to actually understand what he or she is
doing.

A master programmer is expected to design and implement a new
application in six days, then rest on the seventh.
