    Do you mean [Klingon Programmer — Software Development](http://www.smart-jokes.org/klingon-software.html)? :)

        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?

        Latest Article - Building a Prototype Web-Based Diagramming Tool with SVG and Javascript Learning to code with python is like learning to swim with those little arm floaties. It gives you undeserved confidence and will eventually drown you. - DangerBunny Artificial intelligence is the only remedy for natural stupidity. - CDP1802

        If you announce to the universe that you are currently swamped with working on the next release, the universe (or a client) will find an annoying bug in the current release for you to fix that has been escalated to upper management and must be fixed NOW! Yeah, this one happened to me yesterday.

            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?

              Once you have added your client's most recent "feature" requested, he (or she) will invariably say, "Well if you can do that..". The more clueless your client is about programming the more he thinks he (or she) knows, and tries to help you out.

                Instead of using emails to "sign off" for a nation-wide project, use the "brown folders" and internal mail. Never say you can change the font size; always say the report will need to be "totally redesigned" for a new field / column.

                      Any one use the word "just", don't stop. Run as fast as you can. "Just a little change" or "Just do it".

                        LOL, some users and members of management... :)


                        Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
