Timebomb; Bomb; Defuse it before taking it to the field lest it detonates there
-
In my previous organization, my technical lead normally uses the following to indicate disgusting and nagging bugs that crop up in the application Timebomb Bomb And whenever there is a demo scheduled to the client either via a hosted session or a client visit, he used to say '
Defuse it before taking it to the field lest it detonates there". I have tried to make the partial vernacular mix to English here. The bottomline is that "The application should not cut a sorry figure of us before the client by showing an ugly 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object', 'java.lang.NullPointerException', so on and so forth".Vasudevan Deepak Kumar Personal Homepage

A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all - he's walking on them. --Leonard Louis Levinson -

How about napalming the hell out of that application? "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."
