Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming βWow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

The first French fries weren't cooked in France. They were cooked in Greece.

I believe that the first freedom fries were cooked in the USA. Maybe all.

As the coffin was being lowered into the ground at the funeral of a Parking Officer's funeral, a voice inside screams "I'm not dead, let me out, let me out!"
The priest leans forward sucking air through his teeth and mutters "too bloody late mate, I've already done the paperwork".

This will all be resolved when AI takes over the Bureaucracy.
Then it will be, "I'm sure you're not alive, because ChatGPT told me so. Now shut up, mate."

Nahh, give it a beer and turn on the footy, you'll never have any trouble from it.
Ohh and don't forget half day Fridays.

LOL. What's a footy? Me and buddy once spent a some time in Barcelona with a couple of Australian computer guys at a conference. Turns out TX and Australians have very similar views on society and life. Similar climates, terrain, etc. Beer being the optimal start. Good time.

Quote: What's a footy?
Depends on where you are. Down south & west, footy is Aussie Rules[^]. New South Wales and Queensland it's Rugby League[^]. Sometimes it can be Rugby Union[^]. All all of them are played throughout Australia but to varying degrees of popularity.
If your mate says he is going to the "footy", you are expected to know which code he is talking about and what teams are playing.

Interesting. I don't think we have an equivalent term in US that I know of.

I really can't stop with this book, Modern Software Engineering[^], because so much of it resonates with me after working in IT/Dev for over 30 years.
I came to Dev thru QA so I've always focused on "repeatable processes, errors & failing safely".
Quote: One of the driving forces behind [Margaret] Hamiltonβs[^] approach was the focus on how things failβthe ways in which we get things wrong.
"There was a fascination on my part with errors, a never ending pass-time of mine was what made a particular error, or class of errors, happen and how to prevent it in the future."
This focus was grounded in a scientifically rational approach to problem-solving. The assumption was not that you could plan and get it right the first time, rather that you treated all ideas, solutions, and designs with skepticism until you ran out of ideas about how things could go wrong. Occasionally, reality is still going to surprise you, but this is engineering empiricism at work.
The other engineering principle that is embodied in Hamiltonβs early work is the idea of βfailing safely.β The assumption is that we can never code for every scenario, so how do we code in ways that allow our systems to cope with the unexpected and still make progress? Famously it was Hamiltonβs unasked-for implementation of this idea that saved the Apollo 11 mission and allowed the Lunar Module Eagle to successfully land on the moon, despite the computer becoming overloaded during the descent.
As Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended in the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) toward the moon, there was an exchange between the astronauts and mission control. As the LEM neared the surface of the moon, the computer reported 1201 and 1202 alarms. The astronauts asked whether they should proceed or abort the mission.
NASA hesitated until one of the engineers shouted βGo!β because he understood what had happened to the software.
On Apollo 11, each time a 1201 or 1202 alarm appeared, the computer rebooted, restarted the important stuff, like steering the descent engine and running the DSKY to let the crew know what was going on, but did not restart all the erroneously-scheduled rendezvous radar jobs. The NASA guys in the MOCR knewβbecause MIT had extensively tested the restart capabilityβthat the mission could go forward.4
This βfail safeβ behavior was coded into the system, without any specific prediction of when or how it would be useful.
So Hamilton and her team introduced two key attributes of a more engineering-led style of thinking, with empirical learning and discovery and the habit of imagining how things could possibly go wrong.
I have a system composed of 5 services which process over 50,000 files (inbound & outbound) each day.
I had to incorporate fail safe into this system or we would go crazy trying to find "lost" / failed files each day.
