I recall a tale of a new recruit at our Dev Shop who, after a week or so,
submitted his program for compile; then later (because it took a bit back
then) came back with the cash in hand and tears in his eyes to his Lead
Programmer (or whatever the title was before we were all Software
Engineers), as his program had failed to compile cleanly. (2 warnings
maybe).
