Yet more Star Trek Humour
Quick Reference
Klingon Coders
The top 12 things likely to be overheard if there were Klingon programmers
on the team:
- Specifications are for the weak and timid!!
- This machine is a piece of GAGH! I need dual Pentium processors if I
am to do battle with this code.
- You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the
original Klingon.
- Indentation?! I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
- What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software
'releases'. Our software escapes, leaving a bloody trail of designers and
quality assurance people in its wake!
- Klingon function calls do not have "parameters" - they have
"arguments"- and they ALWAYS WIN THEM
- Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.
- I have challenged the entire Quality Assurance team to a Bat-Leh
contest! They will not concern us again.
- A TRUE Klingon warrior does not comment his code.
- By filing this bug report you have challenged the honour of my family.
Prepare to die!
- You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you
stand!
- Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship
it and let them flee like the dogs they are!
