Don't worry you young students... the PHB's don't read your code, and your coworkers will hate you for writing it after you're gone.
Do unit testing. Do simple coding. Do it for you. It's good for your soul. It'll save your career.
Case in point - I was working on ASP pages that get user ID/password information from a db before validating to the next layer. I refactored the entry page so that I could test all the pieces parts since we have different clients who log in through the same page and get taken to other places. Anyhow, I typed in our demo account and password and got in - had about four tests... so then I tried four different variations on the password, camel case, and an extra space at the end thinking it would pass. Wrong. The new tests all bombed and let the person in. Why? Because SQL is set by default to be case-insensitive, and the code only checked to see if there was a matching username/password combination in the table. One line of code checking the actual password coming back fixed a bug we had in the system since inception. And who knows what else is in there.
If it doesn't fit on a screen, then break it up or throw it away. It's not extreme - it's the only way to make sense of a large system. If you write code at that level, you only need Javadoc to tell why you wrote the story the way you did...
You'll be much happier. Ignore the TA from Harvard and make yourself better. You don't need to be extreme to do so.

You haven't played on Masochistic, have you?
1. Why couldn't they make the control room more realistic, looking like Starbucks?
2. You always need an evil helper, be it a test-tube son or some midget.
3. If you want to do it, download a demo of "The Political Machine" and pick your favorite side. That works for me.
If it's methane, I'm holding my breath.
What makes this round interesting is that AOL has filed the first ever lawsuit against against spam
Okay - against against spam? Are we in Newspeak now where it is double-plus ungood instant messenging? Is it for spamming now?
It's AOL, so I'm not sure which side of the marketing wagon I should be riding on.
So this would be a whole boatload of Asian Windows XP boxen?

What does BSD have to do with this? (grin)

We actually need to encourage people to sit around and watch television? Come on....
Sedentary life is its own reward.
It was run by BSD, which, by association means...
It's made of wood, it floats, so.... it's a witch!
Burn it! Burn it! Boo! Boo!
You forgot to add "Linux", comrade...

... and I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but doesn't the Phantom console look like the Deluxe George Foreman grill?
If it grills my hot dogs while I'm fragging people, well, then the only thing left is a cupholder in the lap pad.
Maybe they had the right idea all along....

I've been in your city going 70 through downtown. Nice place.
I didn't know these guys sold computers. All I ever saw was a lot of candles and clothing patterns...

So if I tip my TV tray/laptop stand, my mouse position would stay in place? Sweet!
Great for airplanes!
I pick Starbucks, for it is the hub of Dr. Evil's empire - and Scott (aka McBride) wants to get back at his father's transgression.
Either that or RedHat.

So does history repeat itself?
And if you're wrong, you have a stupidly named product.
Brilliant.
