    My motto in life: Life is a vale of tears, then you die. It's about the most cynical motto you can have, making everything joyful in comparison! Just stick to those words, life is a vale of tears, and you'll come to enjoy Microsoft, TDD, JavaScript and ultimately life soon enough :D

    It's an OO world.

    {
    public void DoWork()
    {
    throw new NotSupportedException();
    }

    Personally I have what I think is a simpler version: "Life is bitch, then you die" ! ;P

        Basically the same thing, but vale of tears sounds so much more dramatical ;)

          Microsoft makes big noises over "new" ideas that are actually stolen from the Rails community. The benefits of TDD are yet again argued, incorrectly. People complain about the web and Javascript but admit nothing can be done about it. God, I'm getting more and more cynical every day. So, fair warning folks, the velveteen gloves are coming off!

          Just for the title, very well done. Curmudgeoning is the state to which all the best should aspire. :thumbsup:

              I would not worry unless a .45 starts materializing at your side or you start swearing uncontrolled about Telstra.

                Are you becoming a curmudgeon or just don't put up with as much bullshit as you used to?

                    What I hate about Git, and then I'll shut up about it, is the feeling that it intentionally mocks the new user. I mean, what kind of sadist came up with the idea that some switches use a single hyphen and others need two? And the "automatic merges" I see in the GitHub and Atlassian apps pushing back code changes that came down in the pull but I didn't touch? Why does it do that? The motto of the true curmudgeon, "Bah!"
