i need to make a bunch of money quick and hire you to do nothing but tear shit apart for great justice, just like this... :)

So I just got out of this meeting where these two programmers are trying to fix this old bad idea with a new bad idea...this is nothing new, but today they must have eaten their wheaties cause they were going for extra points...

i can't wait until they consider secure network and system programming a highly specialized expert level task. i wont miss 90% less code being written (when the code that is, is worth a shit :)

so I point out that the new idea to fix the old bad idea is also bad...they argue for a moment until they are forced to give in and accept that the new idea is just as bad, so they form a huddle and deside, rather than replacing the bad idea with an ok idea, or dare i say even a good one, they will insert a new glue layer to bridge the old bad idea with the new bad idea...of course this new glue layer is filled with bad ideas, and on the hole it too is a bad idea...

but, but, don't you see? this is "defence in depth", right?
[what is this security theater you keep talking about? do they play dollar movies?]

so now we're left with the old bad idea, the glue layer filled with bad idea, and the new bad idea...they combine to form one large bad idea that is greater than the sum of its collective bad ideas...like Vultron...exception instead of lions, this one is made up of retarded programming ideas...oh and there is no sword...

that's not criminal negligence, that's job security!

yeah, its often my job to just sit there and point out bad ideas when i see them...I'm trying to see if i can't get electrodes implanted in the heads of our developers so we can issue electric shock when needed but they keep giving me some bullshit about insurance and laws or something; it all sounds like excuses to me...
