Lies programmers tell themselves

Posted on March 14, 2014March 14, 2014 By admin

“I don’t need to comment this, I’ll know what’s going on. I wrote it for god’s sake.”

“No one could possibly fail to understand my simple user interface”

“I’ll remember what I did here without adding a comment to explain it.”

“Code is self documenting.”

“This bug won’t take too long to fix”

“I can do this easy. It should take like what? 2 hours max?”

“There is just one more bug, then it wil be fixed.”

“5 more minutes and I can go home.”

“My homebrew framework will be nimble, lightweight, debugged, and easy to use.”

“My own parser will do fine.”

“I know this is dirty code, I will rewrite it later.”

“We’ll fix this in a later release.”

“I’ll come back and comment this later”

“This bug can be ignored for now”

“I’ll refactor this before I release it.”

“That is going to be a simple minor change..”

“It’s just one line… it won’t break anything”

“This should never happen”

“This minor unrelated change in the code could not possibly be the cause for the unit tests failing.”

“It works on my machine”

“It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!”

“if it compiles, it must be correct!”

“If it passes tests, it must be correct.”

“It works”

“I can skip design and architecture and leap right into coding.”

“I totally understand that legacy code!”

“I know what the client wants.”

“I don’t need version control.”

“I know what I’m doing.”

“It’s a simple one-line change, we don’t need to test it.”

“If it’s written in C, it will be fast.”

“It’s written in Python, so it’s easy to extend.”

“Java runs everywhere.”

A good day

Posted on February 14, 2014February 14, 2014 By admin

Today started a bit on the rocky side, but finished with a bang. My work efforts were recognised and we’ll received. I managed to achieve a personal work goal I’d set myself (get all the kbase services under nagios monitoring). When I got home, Katy had most of the fixings done for a v-day feast,  all I had to do was cook the steaks and poach some eggs. We cracked open the nice bottle of gamay we got from le petit manoir and settled down for a night of movies.  We watched an Omid Djalili stand up and Idiocracy –  a movie so bad it circles all the way to good :-) then there was cheesecake. Ooooh, the cheesecake. Now there is bed.

Geek quote of the day

We could write a Kafkaesque (*) novel for IT people about this software installation…

(*) Basically it describes a nightmarish situation which most people can somehow relate to, although strongly surreal.
