It's reading posts like this that make me feel much more secure in my competence as a programmer: I remember a job interview where the interviewer handed me a page of printout from halfway through a program, and asked me to explain it. I said "Well, this is a loop, and it's doing something with a 'salary' variable, and calculating tax in some way, but it's calling off to a function that's not on this page, so I'm not sure what. I'm sorry, I can't tell much more than that, what am I missing?" And they said "You're the fourth person I've interviewed for this coding job, and the first one who wasn't lying about being able to program."
