The boss raised new motivators:

Real programmers can easily write the DO cycle on five pages.
Real programmers love invested IF operators. Their use makes the program more interesting.
Real programmers use self-modifying code, especially when it saves 20 nanoseconds in the middle of a very short cycle.
Real programmers are not afraid to use GOTO.
Real programmers do not need comments - the text of the program should be self-sufficient.

I am scared.
