[TriLUG] [Slightky Offtopic] KQA: Klingon Quality Assurance

[Sinner from the Prairy]

Hi,

When Enterprise started, there were some postings about it. So I assume that 
many of us like Star Trek world.

Recently came into my atention the KQA, the credo for Klingon programmers. It 
looks like Klingons are the coder-variant of the BOFH race or something 
similar.

Klingon Software Quality Assurance

     The top 12 things likely to be overheard if you had Klingon
     programmers working for you:

     12) Specifications are for the weak and timid!!

     11) This machine is a piece of GAGH! I need dual Pentium
     processors if I am to do battle with this code.

     10) You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you've
     read it in the original Klingon.

     9) Indentation?! I will show you how to indent when I 
     indent your skull!

     8) What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make
     software 'releases'. Our software escapes, leaving a
     bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in
     its wake!

     7) Klingon function calls do not have "parameters" - they
     have "arguments"- and they ALWAYS WIN THEM

     6) Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does
     not coddle the weak.

     5) I have challenged the entire Quality Assurance team to a
     Bat-Leh contest! They will not concern us again.

     4) A TRUE Klingon warrior does not comment his code.

     3) By filing this bug report you have challenged the honor
     of my family. Prepare to die!

     2) You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill
     you where you stand!

     1) Our users will know fear and cower before our
     software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs
     they are!




Salut,
Sinner
