A few years ago (around seven or eight, I think), Bill Joy was interviewed
by Unix Review or some such.  He said that he doesn't do any real programming
at Sun, and that if he writes anything it is a little more than a for
loop to print some table of numbers or characters and that he just does
"cat >a.c ; cc a.c".
