Strangely enough, this was the exact dilemma that Clarissa faced in in Episode 29 of Clarissa Explains it All, "Poetic Justice," in which she developed a program that generated poetry.

- kiba 15y agoWhat an obscure reference to use. That show aired from 1991 to 1994, when I was a mere toddler.

- zeteo 15y agoWait ten more years, you'll also be able to use obscure references.
- MichaelGagnon 15y agoAs far as pop-culture goes, I think Clarissa still holds the cake for female programmer characters. Acid burn (from Hackers) is a close second...
- Blocks8 15y agoLearn something new everyday -- Clarissa was a programmer! Loved that show!
