Oh, it's just Python, Ju_py_ter. I should have guessed. >.<

Me and a coworker marveling at another coworker’s productivity.

COWORKER: He's the only guy who I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow got sucked into the computer like Tron. You know, he just went too deep.

ME, laughs: That's quite a compliment!
