Re:The problem with TopCoder

What is your TopCoder handle?

Guess. I'll give you a clue: it's quite similar to my handle here.

Clearly you are another clueless droid that thinks he knows what TopCoder is all about. I've learned a lot from the solutions that many of the top TopCoders have put forth to earn them their ratings.

Yes, absolutely. By golly, you're right. That must be why I get paid all that money to develop software. Because I'm yet another clueless droid.

If you want to see an example of my work, check out the .NET framework. Or a number of Sierra products. Or heck, even, if you want, you can read my article here:
