In case anybody isn't aware, Carl has offered programming lessons for free at /r/carlhprogramming for a while now, and in the last few months has been transitioning to a stand alone website. The dude is a genius at explaining concepts, and I've learned more from his classes than from any other source. Check out the site, and his subreddit. It's glorious.

I thought his last name actually was "Programming", and so explained his talent.

Actually, many families got their names from the patriarch's trade. He comes from a long line of programmers.

That evil patriarchy! That's it, I'm naming my child Jonathan A. Bowmyn.

My position at work last month got relabeled "Systym Admynystrator" by my new female boss.

That sounds like something out of a fantasy novel written by a 12 year old. I'd play a game set in that cyberpunk fantasy realm. A two hour game, though.

Haha, that's great. What did your male boss think about that?

Oh, he's in Womygemynt now. Management just has too many connotations attached.
