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?
- Two. One always quits in the middle of a project.
- 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.
- One to write the light bulb removal program,
- one to write the light bulb insertion program, and
- one to act as a light bulb administrator to make sure nobody else tries to change the light bulb at the same time.
-
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.
