Yeah. That’s not me. Sounds like something I would have done though.

Good luck finding the other Sean. Nice meeting you.

Pretty sure Sean went to Williamston. I also knew his brother Tim and cousin Chris. Maybe it was McMillen. The conversation I’m thinking of probably took place around 1990…so it’s been a while.

Scott,

Could be. My address was Williamston, (though I went to Haslett schools) but I think there was another Sean McMillan (McMillen, I think) in Williamston. No clear bells, but I seem to have a lousy memory right now.

It might be me. Got any more clues?

You sound like someone I used to know. A buddy of mine recently showed me a video that explained how to turn a sphere inside out…which reminded me of a conversation we (if you are who I think you are) had on topology a long time ago. Williamston ring a bell?

Comment on Bacon Driven Coding FAQ by Sean

Scott: Just like all programming methodologies, I didn’t invent it, I only gave it a name so we could talk about it.

Dave, Jeff: There’s lots of room for experimentation. Bacon drivin coding is young. We don’t know its limits yet.

Vikrama: Good Point. I don’t know how well this wil translate to India. It’s probably worth experimenting with varying spiced meats. But I figure, if someone can invent curry pizza, there’s bound to be a way to bring the power of bacon to Indian programmers.

Joel: An excellent point. I had not previously tied the bacon-code-repeat cycle to the ancient mammoth-scratch marks in clay-repeat cycle, but they clearly are related.

Eliezer: You may be able to find a non-pork bacon substitute that will work for you. The Kosher preparation requirements may be difficult to obtain in practice, but probably no harder than targeting Oracle 7 stored procedures.

Tobert: I’m very wary of the idea of mixing bacon and coffee together. Adding a caffeine rush to the productivity rush of bacon driven coding may be too much for a human being to survive. Dangerous territory here.

Although I am not a “coder” and don’t know all this lingo, I must say I am so proud of Sean for spreading the word. As for me, one of his Aunts in Arkansas, I might try to apply these methods to my work… bacon driven gardening, bacon driven retailing… bacon driven cleaning… I think there’s some real possibilities here.

Dave, you can always go for ultra-refined vegetables, which may have a similar effect. Lay people use common names for these products like “beef” and “mutton.”

I wonder if anybody makes bacon-flavored coffee stirrers ….

Is there a kosher version of this methodology??
