New One for Ashton
From [link|http://thedailywtf.com/forums/permalink/86208/86202/ShowThread.aspx#86202|The Daily WTF]:
"So what?" his manager barked, "our software has the **small** flaw of creating a few extra rows in the database. Big deal, who cares?!?"

The manager, furious, then instituted a change of policy: "I need you to stop reviewing the code and finding all of these 'issues'. We need a production deployment plan."

The message was clear.

Shortest distance between a suicidal thought <-and-> trying it out?

Scary.. while programming is said to embrace logic, and at least to acknowledge the scientific method (like, say - measuring if stuff works or doesn't?) this guy seems to be a graduate of the Dick Cheney School of Preserving the Illusion. (Even scarier is that, probably he's not making up this story!)

Then there's this quip, there -

Look.. we haven't time to get the last shielding in place; we only need one pulse at 1011 here ... what can it hurt? Don't be so damn picky!


But you know..? I Can't Imagine the 'adults' (with any authority) like YPB appear constantly to have to work around or through. Clearly too - bizness attracts the curdled-cream of the lot, I wot. Well, they flunked algebra, so what else was left..

Guess 'ego control' earns its place on that lengthy list of declining valuez, with a huge Peak occurring just when these little machines were tossed out to the masses, for consumption.
See, we already knew about 'computing machines' - and didn't try to use them to nail jello to walls. OK we did.. play StarTrek on the CDC-6600, because it was There.

Then.. Billy saith to the masses, "Hey.. you don't need to know stuff to use Our software!"
And They Believed.

And Still Do.
What. a. fucking. MESS, eh?


The Real Issue is: too few left who Love Truth, of whichever form.
