Soviet commentary on Obamacare

"All that is complex is not useful.
All that is useful is simple."
-- Mikhail Kalashnikov

Comrade Kalashnikov was not just speaking of rifles. I'm just saying...

Democrats seem to generally be afflicted with a bad case of the In-theories

"In theory, practice is easy" as they say.
EngineerSpeak for "We need to test that". ;-)
I want to live in Theory. Everything works in Theory.
"In theory, practice and theory are the same thing. In practice they're not."
"The difference between theory and reality is a lot bigger in reality than it is in theory."

Here's an affliction the healthcare.gov developers did NOT have.

Some terse commentary on test driven design

If you put off thinking about testing until you're done implementing, you're too late.

Do it right, and you can test the pieces long before you're done. Do it right and the testing can help you find your mistakes early enough to do something about them.

*ahem*

And WTF is that thing perched on the Queen's granddaughter's head? It looks like an oily wadded up old shop rag

If you just can't get enough Miley Cyrus tongue weirdness, CLICK HERE or CLICK HERE.

How many of these Hacker writing idioms have you adopted in your impromptu informal blog comment/post writing? For me, its quite a few.

Heh, funny geek cartoon.
