Well I guess I am now in demand, 'cause I just heard the Talking Heads saying the "new" language is "Code". If you want to get a job your resume must state that you know "Code". What they mean is that you must be able to program computers. Now that is all fine and dandy but which "Code" - Fortran? COBOL? C? BAL? BASIC? PL/1?

They announced this like it was the greatest discovery since the wheel, but they really did not know what in hell they were talking about.

They even said a company put out a wanted ad but it was all written in "Code" so only programmers could read it.
