Some Klingon Thoughts for the Day

Found this in a thread on Little Green Footballs:

Top sayings of Klingon programmers

* Perhaps today is a good day to die... I say we ship it."

* 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 honor 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!
