nop again

Did OSC really write this? I’ve run a lot of programmers, and it’s spot on. Less so, but still ok, now as it’s becoming something that people expect to make money at, but in the mid-late 90s (when it was written), yes.

And I’ve always thought Ender’s Game, while ok, was overrated. I haven’t read the rest of the trilogy, and some people say that matters. Shoot me.
