Hmm. My clothes say I'm a vagrant with superior programming skills.

What chain of reasoning spoke to you that we might Lycra that one? "Tu-be or not tu-be" is only a question if you're a crank about your gear. Answers we can handle, bar none please.

I wonder if we've geared our approach too much, in every carbon fiber of our being? Every stroke, its cadence perfect, "pedal to the metal", as it were?

It's time to saddle up and let the rubber hit the road before we tire of such things.
I know it should be "tyre" not "tire" but there are Mercans looking at this.

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

The thread below made me think about the times I have had to go back to my old code, but the reaction I have is 'Holy crap, how the hell did your brain ever understand it!"
So I can only assume that it was complex code, and that my brain has deteoriated with time!

Even not-so-old code (say a couple years or less) - if one is just starting out with a new language.
In this case, two at once.
Fortunately, the stuff, though optimistically classifiable as hideous, is none-the-less rock solid. Maintenance, however, would be an evil turn of events, indeed. Probably I'd opt for a rewrite.
Just too much to do right now before I go back and fix it before it comes to get me someday.

The goodness of the code is directly proportional to the amount of coffee and pizza consumed when writing.

If the processors we code for ever become self aware they may call the authorities and report us for the things we have asked them to do.

My favorite is looking at old code, thinking "this is crap", start rewriting it and then remembering that there's a reason you wrote it that way.

On one of the project I am working on I was strongly against one of the ideas of my boss. He told me write all 3 queue text in one xml which will validate the data in the database. I told him I could do it in one and lets not put it in outside file which will be in the ENV folder.
I did talk to him about securing and stuff but he wouldn't listen. He said if something goes wrong its users fault o.O
Well after all he is my boss and I did what he asked me to.
The point of this little experience of mine is : Always blame your boss no matter what happened!
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Always make sure you have a written record of your boss's stupid decisions, in case he denies them later when your company is being fined / sued for a major security breach.

It seems pretty accurate to me
I'm still amazed that basic pen testing isn't taught as part of a computer science degree, it's just as important as basic programming skills, pc building skills etc

I got turned in for abuse for suggesting that a poster do some bench checking on their homework before posting in QA asking someone to do it for them.
