Stilbesterol does increase the likely hood that children will subsequently come down with cancer. So men thinking about giving birth to children might want to steer clear of that drug.
Hotshot C++ programmers that don't just use features that are called for, but find an excuse to use every difficult trick in the c++ book. It isn't really necessary to use multiple inheritance ten layers deep in every program. When taking over maintenance of a software system, straightforward design and documentation mean a lot. GOD save us from the programmers that think they don't have to write any documentation because the code is the documentation. Literate programming works for me.
One of the reasons I like to write low-level (hardware control) code, is that chips change rather slowly.
I have had a project go to hell on me because I was forced to write interfaces to software that interfaced to hardware. The group responsible for the underlying layer lost the source code and quickly re-wrote it, with different interfaces than before. This instantly obsoleted all my code just before my final release. My $35K project defaulted and there were bad feelings all around.
