Boxes and Lines, Boxes and Lines...

Charles Miller posted a great comment on his blog that absolutely cracks me up:

Pretty much any computing problem, given a sufficient level of abstraction, can be reduced to a diagram of boxes joined together with lines. At this level your solution will look startlingly simple, and you'll be able to sell it to someone.

So true, so true.
