    The Reziac Programmers' Conscience Trophy

    Programmers lack the perspective to find wet when hogtied and thrown down a water slide. That is why programmers, more than most, need support from people with perspective, judgment, relevant knowledge and interest in our success. Programmers cannot have perspective because programming requires that we ignore perspective a good part of the time. This trophy is awarded to site members who help developers find their way in a manner at least roughly roughly equivalent to Reziac's contribution January - September 2016. This trophy comes with membership in the Trusted Developers Group. Awarded to: Reziac September 21, 2016
