  2. »...an engineer refers to “low-level code.” In regular life, “low ” usually signifies something bad. In programming, “low” is good.« [...]
    »[Frank’s] punishment was to have to talk to regular people. Frank became a sales-support engineer. [...] And in the eyes of other engineers, Frank was as “high” as one could get. When asked, we said, “Frank is now in sales.” This was equivalent to saying he was dead.«

  5. A quotation from Mark Twain

    He was going for the Holy Grail. The boys all took a flier at the Holy Grail now and then. It was a several years’ cruise. They always put in the long absence snooping around, in the most conscientious way, though none of them had any idea where the Holy Grail really was, and I don’t think any of them actually expected to find it, or would have known what to do with it if he had run across it. You see, it was just the Northwest Passage of that day, as you may say; that was all. Every year expeditions went out holy grailing, and next year relief expeditions went out to hunt for them. There was worlds of reputation in it, but no money.

    Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Novel (1889), A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, Part 3 “The Tale of the Lost Land,” ch. 9 “The Tournament”
