We recently posted a job ad, I wanted it to say "Some Assembly Required", well, because it is. HR wouldn't go for it. :|

From the days of the tech bubble, circa 2000... A friend worked at Research in Motion, makers of the Blackberry, ticker symbol RIM. When a hiring blitz was planned, HR solicited employees for suggestions on how to advertise job openings. More than one suggestion included a line about wanting a RIM job. There was also a hiring blitz where I worked, but competition was so fierce that it was hard to find qualified candidates. At an all-hands meeting of close to 500, my boss lamented the quality of the CVs we were receiving. "There are a lot of Joe Blows, but not enough Joe Blow jobs." Howls of laughter, but it was totally innocent. English wasn't his first language, and there's no way he would have knowingly used that line.

Do not remember who told it: First rule of code optimization, don't do it. Second rule of code optimization (only for experts), don't do it yet.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

C++ - An object oriented programming language
I know the quote is tongue in cheek but this always gets my BAC up. To say C++ is an object oriented language A) misses the fact that it's also a generic programming language (as in GP), a procedural language, and now (finally) a functional language. C++ is one of the few major languages out there that can basically do it all. B) specifically ignores GP and metaprogramming (template, constexpr, et al) which makes C++ unique among major languages as far as I know. This despite this stuff underpinning a major C++ component - the STL. C) encourages new C++ users to think about C++ in a very limited (albeit familiar) fashion.

Jackson (computer scientist) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael\_A.\_Jackson\_(computer\_scientist)) Interesting that the quote on the page linked to above is "Jackson's Rules of Optimization: Rule 1. Don't do it. Rule 2 (for experts only). Don't do it yet - that is, not until you have a perfectly clear and unoptimized solution."
