Yea, well. Since when did those people know about the real world?

That is a correct way when you have to think in batchmode. Thingie A has to be finished before Thingie B starts up if B uses A's output.

flowchart,

My courses reduced the grade by one if there was any error. So the only way to get an A and-or pbutt the course was to never make a coding error. I still think that imprinting caused me to become a "bad" coder because I had to write flawless code before setting it into bits.

However, this was the way IBMers had to do their coding (desk checking) because there wasn't such a thing as timesharing on card machines.

HUH?!!!!! That was extremely stupid.

Yup. That gives your equals and-or peons something to pull apart before you spend the next two manmonths implementing a bug.

Supervisors and-or project leaders can produce a conceptual flow chart. This helps buttign a box to each programmer. The Pert chart concept came out of this one. Flow charts can be work flows, bit flows, data flows, black box flows. I don't understand how anybody can design anything without doing one.
