What code DOESN'T do in real life (that it does in the movies)

What code DOESN'T do in real life (that it does in the movies)

Quote:

I understand that Hollywood needs to dress things up to make them more entertaining, but in the case of programmers, code, and hackers they've done more than dress things up - they've morphed a little stuffed teddy bear into a cybernetic polar bear covered in christmas lights and phosphorescent hieroglyphics with a fog machine pumping rainbow smoke out of his ass.


It's a good read.
