There's a strain of programming that takes attitudes like:
- I'd rather write it myself than get it from a subroutine library
or a package written by someone else
- I'd rather invent the algorithms myself than read about them
in a book or an article
- I'd rather write in a low level language, to get ultimate
control and efficiency
.. that sort of thing. This could be called "macho programming"
even though it really has nothing to do with the sex of the person
who is doing it.
A few years ago, around the time of "real men don't eat quiche"
somebody said "real programmers use macro assembler on MVS".
