If you recognised the phrase I used as a title for this post, then that means that you are getting old… or that you are a reader of a Python blog called “Let’s discuss the matter further“. I mention this blog post not because I am/was a fan of the game in the 1980′s, but because Brandon Rhodes marvelously explains how a rewrite of an older program can throw a few surprises at you on one hand and teach you something new at the same time ;-)
