So many programmers don't realize that good code is self-documenting. Comments are meant for /why/ something is done as opposed to /how/. With minor exceptions such as regex.

Thank you for this comment, I wasn't sure what else could Base be!

I didn't know that either! I would have never guessed!

Look upon the life's work of Mentishit ye mighty and despair.

Remember, that thing is his life's work for fuck's sake. No amount of pity is sufficient to hide the stench of this.

His whole life is a massive warning of what not to be and what not to become.

Try to have actual accomplishments that don't include being a spamming delusional shitposter.

Anyway, if some corporate IT shop starts developing the Perl AI beyond my own meager efforts,

this almost could be self-awareness.

i don't understand why you can understand your failure to understand programming at least in flashes of lucidity, but then defend your ``code'' design to clearly experience Perl programmers, some even trying to drop hints about using NLP libraries in an effort to get through to your rational mind.

No, the http://ai.neocities.org/perlmind.txt is actually written with extreme care to be clear and maintainable.

his emphasis, not mine. did you have a chuckle bolding those words Arthur?
