Funniest IT Related Boasts You've Heard?

Posted by Cliff on from the humorous-distraction-from-american-politics dept.

Karma asks: "The other day I saw a Slashdot comment which read, '[Projects] don't start getting interesting until you are dealing with Staff Years to develop them. Anything under that and you can actually keep the full design in your head'. An immodest boast, but not too funny. This made me wonder, in the macho worlds of IT and developers, what are the funniest and silliest boasts or bragging claims you've made, or heard? Tell us how they came back to haunt the overconfident."

    I'm a serious [insert type here != "Apple Only"] developer and I use a mac because [insert RDF here].

    Cracks me up every time - esp when they associate flash & developer like that means something plausable. It's not just the great leaps in logic but the *need* to tell you.

    Linked lists? Expert programmers use RDBMS. Only newbies use linked lists because they don't know how to use a database. Move up the abstraction scale, dude? Otherwise you will hire people who keep writing sorts, GUI frameworks, and OS's from scratch.
