Development teams

Top 10 Things likely to be overheard if you had a Klingon on your
Software Development team:

1. "This code is piece of crap! You have no honor!"

2. "A TRUE Klingon warrior does not comment his code!"

3. "By filing this bug report you have questioned my family
honor. Prepare to die!"

4. "You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill
you where you stand!"

5. "Our competitors are without honor!"

6. "Standards are for the weak and timid!"

7. "This machine is piece of GAGH! I need quad processors if
I am to do battle with this code!"

8. "Perhaps it IS a good day to Die! I say we ship it!"

9. "My program has just dumped Stova Core!"

10. "Behold, the keyboard of Kalis! The greatest Klingon code warrior
that ever lived!".

Heh. Saw a slightly different version of the list. The list had these instead of 1, 5, & 8:

Indentation?! I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!

Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.

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 it's wake!

(Taken from the memo that hangs over my monitor.)
