imagine how fast our apps would be today if they were developed with the same 
attention to compactness and speed as they were 10 years ago... they'd be even 
faster if the attention of 20 years ago was used...

sadly, though, i see many new coders refusing to look at the older stuff because 
"it is older than i am" or "older then 5 years" or similar... but the truly 
funny thing is that, in the end, their result is the same as that which they 
refused to look at... in some cases, with the same bugs...

one extremely hilarious aspect of working with newer coders is the expressions 
on their faces when you show them 20 year old code running rings around their 
code with the same test data and in the same environment... the best part is 
when they realize that the 20 year old code is where they were actually headed 
with their own code but their refusal to look to the past for education hampered 
them...

another funny is seeing the looks on people faces when they realize that no 
matter how new the "technology" is, it is still the same old thing... HTML and 
XML are still plain old ascii text files ;)
