What happened to the Codex?
Well folks, with all this discussion about a new programming language coming along with a new chip for our beloved robot controllers, you can imagine my dismay when I discovered that, once again, the first-codex has slipped beneath the surface. I ask myself, why is this? Programmers of FIRST, we must band together! We must join hands in a symbolic union in these troubled times, and share our insights into the nature of computing and the power of our algorithms. Programmers, I say to you, let us share our functions, our systems, even our entire source code, whenever possible, so that we may all learn and grow. To best facilitate this we need a website. If I can provide server space, and the web site, are we actually willing to share our most secret designs on the secret language that only the programmers may know? Or will we take our progress as our own and allow those without the knowledge to flounder about ineptly?
As a gesture of good faith, I say that I am willing to post the unabridged code from team 861 from years past (not that it's impressive at all), write articles on the basics of programming, and work to unite the programmer nation. Tell me, my brothers (and sisters), are you with me? Or am I just spurting nonsense psychobabble? (I promise, I'm not usually a religious nut)
