Code Project Rules of Software Development
-
Similar to the [Ferengi Rules of Acquisition](http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Rules\_of\_Acquisition), how about we create CP rules of Software Development? I'll start:
If you announce to the universe that you have nothing to do, the universe will find an annoying bug for you to fix.
If this goes anywhere, I'll collate the list and post it, um, as a tip, I guess?

It gives you undeserved confidence and will eventually drown you. - DangerBunny Artificial intelligence is the only remedy for natural stupidity. - CDP1802

War is good for software development

The length of time required to learn a new Microsoft paradigm / language / framework is inversely proportional to it's lifetime.
On that basis, you should be able to pick up C++ in about three minutes...

Never fix one bug when refactoring the entire module could bag you 50 more bugs. Corollary: Always try and get your manager to bonus you on the number of bugs you fix.

Oh no! Do we really need the whole bible?
Quote:
"What are we going to do?" "What a Ferengi always does in a situation this grave." "Panic?" "No, you idiot! He goes to the Rules of Acquisition. Unabridged and fully annotated with all 47 commentaries, all 900 major and minor judgments, all 10,000 considered opinions. There's a rule for every conceivable situation."
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Software management 5th amendment: "it all depends".
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Well ... It started as "C with classes" in 79, and Turbo C++ was out in 1990. But then came Visual C++ in 93, and pretty much since then if you reached for a C++ project, you reached for a MS product (Embedded excepted, I had some success with Embedded C++ on ARM processors at the beginning of the century) OK, Turbo C is still out there, but the last release was 12 years ago - name me a mainstream C++ IDE that doesn't come with the MS logo?

:rolleyes: I thought this thread was supposed to be humorous. Apparently not... :rolleyes:
C++ is not a frivolous language! It's the "Uncle in accounting" of programming languages. (C# can crack a joke from time to time, and VB is the Special Needs cousin you hope can't make it to the party)

Productivity is inversely proportional to the amount of time spent in meetings. The most difficult bugs to find are always in the "simplest" code. The longer it takes to explain your code the more likely it is that you don't understand it.

We are all Dilbert
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Freedom doesn't mean the absence of things you don't like. Dave

He who does the least gets paid the most. And from despair.com... If you're not part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.

Oh, this should be an easy project. That is until you find out all of the requirements.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
And you will never know all the requirements.
