Enter the Matrix

You know that scene in The Matrix, where they're looking at a bunch of random text, and Cypher says it all makes sense after a while?

I totally think about that at work sometimes...

Totally hate walking people through looking at logs.. "Go to the stack trace" has no meaning.. have to keep going.. "Go to the end.. page up.. page up.. up.. up.. keep going till I tell you"

I'm kind of a ninja at looking at logs. Its easy if you're patient.
Omg, so are you a programmer?!

I'm thinking there's a story behind that user pic. Looks sticky.

Aye, I am. But c'mon.. aren't all the boys that were once hairdressers now doing programming or desiging t-shirts?!?

Yup.. it's very easy to read logs. And they actually tell you what's wrong when you read exactly what they say. I have one coworker for whom null pointers continue to be a complete mystery. *grumble*
