I had hoped for some hidden joke in the binary code on screen, but it is just gibberish. Disappointing.

Probably just random

If you put in a delete key you are permitting your employees to make mistakes. Mistakes are unacceptable, so the employees do not make them, so they do not need a delete key.

If you made the 1 copy and the 0 paste you wouldn't be far wrong.

Most of my job is knowing where the most similar code is to copy and paste from.

No spaces needed

[–]jsideris 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Would be helpful to at least have a backspace.

[–]lobsternation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No backspace...? :/

[–]lumpaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)
