Top 10 Credos of Klingon Programmer

February 7th, 2008 by Angsuman Chakraborty

Top 10 credos of a Klingon programmer covering (Klingon) Software Development Life Cycle:

  • Specifications are for the weak and timid!
  • You cannot really appreciate ‘User Friendly’ until you’ve read it in the original Klingon.
  • A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment his code!
  • Behold, the keyboard of Kalis! The greatest Klingon code warrior that ever lived!
  • Indentation? - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!
  • Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.
  • You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!
  • By filing this bug report you have challenged the honor of my family. PREPARE TO DIE!
  • What is this talk of ‘release’? Klingons do not release software. Our software ‘escapes’, leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
  • Perhaps it IS a good day to die! I say that we ship it!
  • Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Let them use it without a manual or let them flee like the dogs they are!

- Adapted from source.

Oh and here’s a bonus - I have challenged the entire quality assurance team to a bat’leth contest. They will not concern us again.

Are you a Klingon programmer?

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." - Albert Einstein
