Nobody needs to depend on anybody for their coding! |
| 12 |
Programmers are not a secret society that hold their |
| 13 |
ways secret! If you don't find anybody to do it for |
| 14 |
you, or if you don't want to pay for that, then you |
| 15 |
can buy a copy of "Programming for Dummies" or "Teach |
| 16 |
yourself C++ in 10 minutes" (note that if any of this |
| 17 |
books really exist, it is a simple coincidence). |
| 18 |
So everybody HAS the freedom. If somebody is too lazy |
| 19 |
to learn how to use it, it's their own fault. |
