There is only one rule: http://druptest.dailywav.com/sites/default/files/wavs/obey2.wav

I've always been passionate about my code and attempt to test as much of it as possible, but I've found what saves on testing / process is discipline in coding style, commenting, consistent use of language idioms, good function / variable names, checking all function returns, lots of debug logging... Lots of little things that a programmer can do to help them read and diagnose their code during development and testing. It also helps to work with a "testing" partner (an element of Extreme Programming). I don't formally follow Extreme, but I do know from experience working in pairs or on occasion threes works really well: let the passionate go nuts with the support of a tester who should be equally passionate about that aspect of code (it is possible to find), and maybe the third is simply a mentor to overview and act as a sounding board for design ideas and problem solving. My partner and I will often discuss and compare ideas again and again; I'll code something, test it, then pass it to him to test it in depth. In many ways it becomes a game to write the code clean and for him to fault it. http://www.dailywav.com/0600/kaboom.wav

Porky Pig's hammer is a SOB!

I think Yahoo bought this instead.

As Christopher Lee would say...

Maybe Captain Sisko can finally be given his flying car?

Brings to mind one of my favorite audio clips. Say what you will about trey parker and matt stone being immature idiots who enjoy potty humor, but they do have a better sense of what's going on in the world than 99% of the rest of TV 'personalities'.

WAV of that quote

I remember a quote from Paul Harvey:
"Gonads are useful for their purpose, but they are no substitute for brains."

really!
here is a sound clip.
