Well when I started out even systems were smaller.  I guess that I never
paid much attention to the work habits of others and I have been
"accused" of "jazz" programming.  I do not design things in detail and I
use the compiler to catch a lot of syntax errors, but I always have a
goal in mind, a design in my head.

In school I heard about "coders" but like I say I've never been anywhere
that actually had any.
