<groan> "Real Programmers" (someones TM) do that which is appropriate
for the task at hand and are very unlikely to ignore any particular
method for describing s/w or the planning of s/w. Superficial
so called "Real Programmers" are influenced by fashion <:o

Anology for "Real Programmers" re flowcharting is like
"Real men don't eat Quiche" should be replaced by,
"Real men aren't influenced by cliches about not eating Quiche"


<cough>

Some say there is no magic but, all things begin with thought then it becomes
academic, then some poor slob works out a practical way to implement all that
theory, this is called Engineering - for most people another form of magic.
