Computing

It looks like you're trying to take over the system. Would you like some help with that?
"How to Write Unmaintainable Code" offers such useful ideas for keeping yourself in a job by making it impossible for anyone else to do it as redefining the operator a=b to mean a=0-b, naming variables so that they'll be nearly visually indistinguishable in most fonts, and faking out the compiler so that an external function means different things depending on how many times the file defining it is included. While the essay isn't meant seriously, this does not detract from the magnificence of it.
