Cosell: That's right. The path I took was, if you will, not for the faint at heart. At the time I was 19 years old and that seemed like the only way to do things. I had two convictions, which actually served me well: that programs ought to make sense and there are very, very few inherently hard problems. Anything that looks really hard or tricky is probably more the product of the programmer not fully understanding what they needed to do and pounding it with a hammer 'til they got code that looked like it did the right thing.
