It reminds me of an incident involving an old colleague of mine at some kind of graduate recruitment fair thing. He walked past a stand which was trying to hire engineers which had some code on the wall when the following exchange happened: Recruiter: Hey there! Do you know what this is? Colleague: Err, … It *looks* like some sort of network protocol Recruiter: No, it’s *COMPUTER CODE*
