Sir, please step slowly away from the kool aid. And keep your extremities where I can see them.

I’ll steal.

No Brainers for Development

  1. What should be our Coding Standards? - Google “coding standards” for your chosen programming language, find a set that makes sense to you and then use them.
  2. Should we do iterative development? - No. You should stick your head up an elephant’s arse instead. It has about the same effectiveness as waterfall delivery, but is slightly less unpleasant for the parties involved.
  3. Model-View-Controller or Model-View-Presenter? - seriously, who gives a sh*t? Pick one and get on with it.
  4. .NET or Java? - ditto.
  5. Are we doing too much unit testing? - No.
  6. Do we need a business/systems analyst? - nobody needs a business/systems analyst. They’re like nipples for men - they serve no practical purpose, but they can still be used to hurt you.
  7. Should we adopt a Service-Oriented Architecture? - Sure. Just let the rest of us know when you’ve figured out what the hell that means, okay?
  8. Are we doing too much refactoring? - No.
  9. The guy we want is just outside our budget. What do we do? - Increase your budget. Find a way.
  10. How can we make more time for quality? - Just do it. The extra time will make itself.

puzzling. Maybe better keep these things under the lid. This makes the war look bad.

Albert Markovski: The interconnection thing is definitely for real.
Tommy Corn: It is! I didn’t think it wasn’t! It is!
Albert Markovski: I know, I can’t believe it, it’s so fantastic!
Tommy Corn: It’s amazing!
Albert Markovski: I know.
Tommy Corn: But it’s also nothing special.
