Let alone can he code well, but that's another story...
'Unfortunately, Bill Gates is not a wizard. Even worse, he is a bad
programmer. When Martin Eller, a Microsoft programmer, found an error in the
flood fill routine of the MS-Basic interpreter, he exclaimed "Which moron
wrote this brainless sh*t?" only to find out it was Gates himself who wrote
the "brainless sh*t". I think it is safe to say that Bill Gates is hardly
the technical wizard he would so much like to be.'
