Based on some feedback, I will be mixing in other games with 185. Or do you guys want it in addition to daily 185? Either way, here's a new one. It's called "World's Worst." It's a one liner game, so really try to keep them as one liners. And DO NOT copy and paste a joke, or retell a joke, it won't be funny and on stage, you'd get called out. I'll reply with a couple to get started. Keep in mind, references to others tend to gets high points.

Have any of you ever heard of this 'GridView'?

I think a regular rotation of things like this would be fun.

Of course the prototype doesn't do anything yet: we are still in the n-tier architectural phase.

A series of quotes I've heard over the years. "There is no need to comment. The instructions tell you what is happening." "All these instructions in the S/370 Assembler is BS. You only need a handful of opcodes. Load, Store, Branch, Gosub, Return, Add, and Subtract. That's all you need." "The C compiler generates code just as good as anyone writing in Assembler." "The C compiler doesn't have any bugs like a program, it's a compiler, not a program." "Microsoft's memory manager does not work, which is why we wrote our own." "Source code control guarantees the program will always compile and run." "This processor can handle interrupts at any speed you choose." ...Hardware guys proceed to design hardware generating interrupts twice as fast as the processor can respond to, let alone process. "You don't have to worry about that condition. It only happens every once in a while." "Don't comment the code aside from a block of pseudocode at the beginning of the routine." "It can't be the hardware, it must be the software." ...explaining why only 1 of 60 identical controls is failing. After seeing prototype "Why can't we roll this out?" "Why can't you estimate how long it will take to write the software like we estimate how long it will take to build the hardware?" There are more, but this is depressing me.

Odd, but I don't get the impression that all of these are from developers. I feel a few of the "World's Worst Managers" crept in here as well...

True story - was training a dev someone to take over my MVC system. Asked him if he had ever coded in Visual Studio before. "Sure" he said - told me that he had written a huge system using WPF et al - the huge system took him 3 months and it was a complete success. Come time to setup his Visual Studio - he asked me to wait a sec to see if he had VS installed on his laptop. He didn't - so we got it installed. Finally after 2 days - got the whole environment and solution setup in VS. This is where it gets sad. Got him to build the app (had to tell him how to build the app..... you know like "f5"?) - and then asked him if he could go in the debugger to check something out - his reply "where is the debugger". Classic.
