Programming Is Dead


Programing is dead.

XML documents, which are human readable, fully explain both data and data
structure.

There is no need for the *reinterpretation* of the programmer.

And let's face it, other than the 200 or 300 *real* programmers who can do
stuff like write operating systems, 99% of all so-called /programmers/ are
writing code to maninpulate data.

Why?

When XML does it all !!!

Here are some pictures of LeeLee Sobieski from here 2003 film Les Liaisons
Dangereuses.

I don't manipulate data! Though it does give me a guilty little thrill.
