Hackers never use flow charts, consider them extremely silly,and associate them with COBOL programmers, card wallopers,and other lower forms of life. This attitude follows from theobservations that flow charts (at least from a hacker's pointof view) are no easier to read than code, are less precise,and tend to fall out of sync with the code (so that theyeither obfuscate it rather than explaining it, or requireextra maintenance effort that doesn't improve the code).
