Top 12 things likely to be overheard if you had a Klingon Programmer


12) "Specifications are for the weak and timid!"

11) "This machine is a piece of GAGH! I need dual Pentium 
    processors if I am to do battle with this code!"

10) "You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in 
    the original Klingon."

 9) "Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent 
    your skull!"

 8) "What is this talk of 'release'?  Klingons do not make 
    software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes' leaving a bloody trail 
    of designers and quality assurance people in it's wake."

 7) "Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters' - they 
    have 'arguments' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM."

 6) "Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle 
    the weak."

 5) "I have challenged the entire quality assurance team to a 
    Bat-Leth contest. They will not concern us again."

 4) "A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment his code!"

 3) "By filing this PTR you have challenged the honor of my family.
    Prepare to die!"

 2) "You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you
     stand!"

 1) "Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it!
    Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!"
