Comment on "But It Doesn't Mean Anything" – A demonstration of the value of computer codeparent

Two of the most common questions I get asked when someone's curious about coding are:

1. So is it all just 1s and 0s?

2. So do you know how to hack?

Sometimes I cynically answer the first question with "Yes, 1s and 0s all day. Sometimes I don't even use 0s, just 1s" which I'm pretty sure I stole from a Dilbert comic, but its funny seeing the expressions I get.

wait wait wait your company can afford ones?!

One of the few benefits to working for a larger company rather than a startup - they can afford 1s and the more successful companies can afford 0s too!

Fucking Oracle...they'll let me use hex but it's a pretty hefty pricetag. >:(
