If Programmers Ran the World
It seems that programming changes your views of the world. What if we were in charge?
I'll give some examples to start off. 1. There would only be two traffic lights, stop and go. 2. A bank robbery would be considered a general protection fault. 3. English would have been banned ages ago for its horrid syntax.
