[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]55, Male. Computer programmer. I've known the expression for at least 20 years or more. It, or variations, are common used by programmers when talking about infinite regression, like another poster said. Re: siblings. I remember when my older son (maybe 5 at the time) told us we should have another son so his younger brother could too have the experience of having a younger brother. We told him no -- that it would be little brothers all the way down.[/quote] Sometimes. In my experience, you use it when you keep finding abstraction after abstraction after abstraction in someone's code. Eventually you get to the bottom of the call stack to discover the true universe.
