About this blog
Over the years a number of stories have circulated on the internet related to programming. As Robert Jordan writes "The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again."
This is of course a take on the famous quote that "those who do not learn History are doomed to repeat it" - George Santayana
In this blog we will post some of the most famous stories which have over the years become "Programming Lore"
