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

Proven Persistence
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Here to Prove Something
Some people are here as an important next step. You are here for more than that. You are here to prove what you already have proven so many times, but this time, a stake is going into the ground where you are going to make your mark and it is going to matter to a lot of people. You can't do it. I can't do it. WE can do it.
