Line 3: The term '''Real Programmer''' is [[computer programming\|computer programmer]]s' [[folklore]] to describe the archetypical "hardcore" programmer who eschews the modern languages and tools of the day in favour of more direct and efficient solutions – [[low-level programming language\|closer to the hardware]]. The alleged defining features of a "Real Programmer" are extremely subjective, differing with time and place, in the fashion of the "[[no true Scotsman]]" fallacy. The archetypal Real Programmer is [[Mel Kaye]] of the [[Royal McBee]] Computer Corporation who is immortalised in "[[The Story of Mel"]],~~<ref>[http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/mel.html The story of Mel]</ref>~~ one of the most famous pieces of hacker folklore. As the story infamously puts it, "He wrote in machine code – in 'raw, unadorned, inscrutable [[hexadecimal]] numbers. Directly."' ==Modernization of the real programmer==
