Ah, yes. I guess we've all been there. When I set deadlines on my own projects they are reasonable (it's "ship when it's tested, and debugged" rather than "ship next week, no matter what"). When I write requirements for my own projects I try to keep them sane. I also get to choose tools best suited to the task.
At work I have no such power. And even if I voice concerns, the project manager can just not listen.
If that means you have to wait until the belligerent victim goes unconscious (and maybe unsavable) before you approach him, you wait.
I used to work as a lifeguard on the sea coast. The rules are: "Most important is safety of the action, second is safety of the lifeguard, only then - safety of the victim."
Even during the training course, they will tell you that if you have to - use brute force to knock the victim out of consciousness for easier handling.
Well, it can be even called "whatever" provided you know where your.desktop files are can adjust them to your needs. Enter "shit" in.desktop for Terminal and you will got in results when you type "shi"...
GNOME 3 is damn well customizable -- go to https://wiki.archlinux.org/ and search for GNOME. I think that good part is that it's written partially in JS so I can change the source code (and thus the appearance, workflow and so on) without the least bit of recompilation. Fast, clean and efficient. And ya know what? I change my Javascript. Besides, I think their JS codebase is pretty well clean so you can just wander around the code and see where everything is and what does what.
Can you name a second DE who offer similar level of customizablility? And it's not rolling, I am seriously asking.
Fable: TLC (which is I think is the best thing MS have ever done) and The Witcher. Morrowind is no longer a problem since we have OpenMW:-) I am also a big fan of Titan Quest.

So, long story short, I'm not really ashamed of my code. At all. I know where it came from and what it did and why.
This puts things in a different perspective. Thank you.
