Real programmers know that somewhere in the quantum multiverse, the
debugged and working program already exists, so they just find the
appropriate universe and make that their reality.
My uncle knew that anyway, but he invented a machine for making it

have "points"? ;-)
I have heard a rumour that there might have been a point once upon a
