Tidbits ∞

• Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idoits. So far, the Universe is winning.

Lightbulbs ∞

• How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?

  • None. That's a hardware problem.

• How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?

  1. Two. One always quits in the middle of a project.
  2. I think that's a device driver problem.

• How many C++ programmers does it take to change a light bulb?

  • You're still thinking procedurally. A properly designed light bulb object would inherit a change method from a generic light bulb class, so all you'd have to do is send it a bulb change message.

• How many testers does it take to change a light bulb?

  • We just find the problems. We don't fix them.

• How many developers does it take to change a light bulb?

  • The light bulb works fine on the system in my office.

• How many Unix hacks does it take to change a light bulb?

  • As many as you want; they're all virtual anyway.

• How many database people does it take to change a light bulb?

  • Three.

• How many technical writers does it take to change a light bulb?

  • One. Provided there's a programmer around to explain how to do it.
