GREENSBORO, NC — As the launch of the new Greensboro 101 approaches (tomorrow, 1.01 at 1:01 P.M.), I am performing some final testing and fixing the bugs.
There is something beautiful about creating with computer code, but such beauty isn't easy. It is unrelenting in its demand for perfect precision. A single comma in place of a single period can, and does, render thousands of lines of code completely inoperable. Find it and fix it though, and it's like piloting a homemade spaceship -- exhilarating and satisfying.
As much as I appreciate and respect precision in writing, imprecise thinking rendered in the written word doesn't suffer the same immediate and certain punishment as does imprecise coding. Presume a condition that isn't true in computer code and things break in a very noticeable way. The language arts have no such throttle on precision. Nor should they, human language has its own beauty in nuance, but anyone who has scripted code for a while can't help but start to notice imprecise thinking in other forms of writing and be influenced because of it.
