    Pretty funny. 20 hilarious programming jargon-phrases you should know when talking to engineers.[^] P.S. I did a search and did not find this. If it's a repost, then, "Oh well."

      The Jeff Atwood version (the version your link cites) has come to me about 3 times now, including in the Lounge once or twice IIRC.

        Protoduction isn't too uncommon here, there's actually a proof of concept I made a while back that's starting to be deployed now because it worked better than expected.

            But you need to remember to do it and if you can remember to do it you won't make that mistake anyway -- pointless.

              but it only helps if one of the two is a constant. if they're both variables, you're still vulnerable.

                Most compilers/IDEs these days will spit out at least a warning for

                if (alpha = bravo)

                A couple I just tried (VC#, Netbeans/Java) complain about int -> bool conversion, Borland compilers warn "Possibly incorrect assignment". So, IMO, not such an issue any more. Peter.

                  I like it better if they put k on the fourth item.
