A man is smoking a cigarette and blowing smoke rings into the air. His girlfriend becomes irritated with the smoke and says "Can't you see the warning on the cigarette pack? Smoking is hazardous to your health!" to which the man replies, "I am a programmer.  We don't worry about warnings; we only worry about errors."

funny, I had to look this word up...so entropy is the state of disorder, randomness or uncertainty. Your statement seems past tense. Much of coding still seems to fit into this state of entropy, so I have to laugh when u say it used to be.
