i have two questions.
first: how exactly does assembly output relate to moisture 
vaporators?
second: what on earth is an ""alpha programmer""? i do hope 
walter has not subscribed to the pseudoscientific views of 
mysogynists.

Someone answered that question on the ycombinator thread. They included 
this video link:

I am not aware of any association between "alpha" and "man" because I 
hear both "alpha male" and "alpha female" in e.g. nature documentaries.

Aside: There was a thread on these forums where somebody was unhappy 
with the word "female" in "female programmers". I think they thought it 
was not a word suitable for humans. Well, I live in California and I can 
report that "female" is what these people use everywhere to mean 
"woman". Of course we can still argue whether it's suitable but it's in 
at least Californian English as of today.

It isn't really accurate in nature either and when used with 
people it tends to be exaggerated to the point of being totally 
absurd.

Vaporators run on compiled code, so do understand the binary code of
vaporators, 
you'll need a disassembler.

I wanted to make looking at the binary code easy and fun.

 second: what on earth is an ""alpha programmer""?

The top tier of programmers. In my career, I've noticed a very strong 
correlation between the top tier of programmers, and programmers who had a
solid 
understanding of assembler code and what their compiler was doing.

 i do hope walter has not 
 subscribed to the pseudoscientific views of mysogynists.

Gender never occurred to me when speaking about alpha programmers.
