    good to put thought into the overall design, or else you could end up w code that's hard to maintain.

    Most software design is trash. That's why normal people don't like computers. ---

    Good point! I think you're right about that.

    I never met many normal people on a BBS. Mostly technical. Programmers
    and engineers are not normal.

    How long has it been since somebody called you an idiot?

    but there is some point in top above. Saying _most_ may hurt people closer to the profession and normal is extremely subjective but I continually find that software designers and software engineers are two different things and the latter combined with expectations that they can deliver first is often first mistake when shipping the product.
