Klingon Programmers Unite!
Things likely to be overheard if you have a Klingon for a programmer:
- "Specifications are for the weak and timid!"
- "This machine is a piece of GAGH!
I need quad Pentium VI, 50 GHz processors if I am to do battle with this code!"
- "You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you 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-Leth 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!"
