Aw, don't be shy or embarrassed! On the contrary. Since
new memes about this need to be propagated, let's start now:
Your program should evince how *little* time you spent
writing it, how inefficient it is, and how disgustingly
hard you make the computer work to nevertheless yield an
interesting, understandable answer in short (human) time.
(Naturally, I keep such views off my resume.)
