This sounds like something back from Ye Oldene Dayse... a programmer is

In 1980 I worked in a shop that had everybody run their CoBOL programs
through a syntax checker. We reviewed the output before
re-submitting the programs to the compiler.

Sounds rather similar, Mr Brazee... and just think, about half of 1980 is
more than twenty-seven years ago, give or take a bit.
