Just want to point out that (as of 16:44 UTC 17th Nov) there are 52,268 words on this page. So far no-one has called anyone a Nazi. It's fascinating and good that people care about this stuff. Software engineering would be very boring if there wasn't room for opinion.

My opinion is that if you were to summarize the original article to only one of its words, it would be the lovely word "boffin". The right amount of boffinry can be a rewarding and beautiful thing. Sometimes though "C'est magnifique mais ce n'est pas la guerre".


this position is filled now. Thanks.
