If you want to become a programmer

I want to publish one old article that I have already published on one of the sites. I’ll say right away that the authorship is not mine, the article is ancient, but relevant.
Thanks to this unique exercise, you, without knowing a single programming language, can feel like a real professional programmer!


Exercise will require:
- two participants;
- clock (preferably with a stopwatch);
- a sheet of blank paper;
- pen (ballpoint or helium, but it is a pen, this is important).

One of the participants will be the “Customer” (Employer), the other -
“Artist” (Programmer).
The “customer” is given a clock and the right to vote, “to the Contractor” - paper and a pen.
')
Begin exercise:
"Customer" marks 10 minutes and gives the task to the "Contractor":
"Please draw me a beautiful girl."
Further, while the “Artist” draws, standing at his “above the soul”, express
The following wishes for the picture:

0:30 - Let her sword be in her hand.
1:00 - Two-handed sword, which she holds with both hands!
1:30 - And in her other hand, give her an ultrasound.
2:00 - Let her be a tired traveler
Sit down to rest.
2:30 - On the sword, it rests, rests, so.
3:00 - Let her raincoat grow in the wind!
3:30 - ... And a swimsuit.
4:00 - And better armor!
4:30 AM - Not ... a uniform!
5:00 - Take off the raincoat, he does not go to the uniform.
5:30 - Let her stand bravely on the bridge of the space cruiser!
6:00 - Why does she have a sword? Remove this old stuff. And transform the ultrasound into a blaster!
6:30 - Her hair grows in the wind ... for beauty, it means.
7:00 - Blaster does not look ... remove it.
She is generally the captain of this ship, she does not need a blaster!
7:30 - She needs a captain's cap! And neatly collected on the head hair!
8:00 - And she must sit in the chair of the captain!
8:30 - Beautiful, harsh and unusually brave captain of the pirate ship ...
9:00 - No, the squadron of the combat fleet of the Galactic Federation!
9:30 - ... Pulling out a finger, giving the order to change course ...

After 10 minutes the "Customer" takes the work of the "Contractor", critically its
examines and expresses his impression:
“Well, this is not what I wanted at all! And where is her faithful adviser? Why do u
is there no service weapon? And why is she so ugly and
harsh? I asked for a BEAUTIFUL girl! And in general in the picture so much
doodles ... You are a bad programmer, in vain I turned to you ... I will not
pay for such hack! "

For more thrills, you can take the whole "Team of Developers", and
Let them draw together a “big and beautiful landscape” in 10 minutes
