Cad Support Tools
An organisation that treats its programmers as morons will soon have programmers that are willing and able to act like morons only.

Able Organization Treat
Too many managers and executives try to reduce programming to a low-level assembly-line activity. That’s inefficient, wasteful, costly in the long run, and inhumane to programmers.

Insufficient Long Running Trying
Any verbose and tedious solution is error-prone because programmers get bored.

Bored Errors Programmers
Most of the programmers in ten years will be us, and we won’t get much smarter.
