He got one frame in the Agile Scrumfall of the Rings. I could have found more for him, but then I would have ended up turning this short rant into a three part epic, and then crammed in characters and subplots that had no place there, and really just ruined the whole thing in an attempt to be "complete" and "sufficiently epic".
Okay, that's not me, but the resemblance is creepy and disturbing. I will have nightmares about this, so thanks for that.
The sad reality is that the most embarrassing picture of me on the Internet is this. The 90s were not my best decade.
I am in favor of this proposal. @apapadimoulis, @codinghorror, whaddaya say?
hit the mark I am aiming for
Hitting the editor in chief is also going to get you dropped from consideration. NO VIOLENCE!
I only learned about Java's type erasure recently, and my brain exploded. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
@Lorne_Kates - I do check these once in a great while. Just let us know when you want back in. There's always room.
I also gotta be honest- I'd love an article that's a collection of FizzBuzzes written in esoteric programming languages.
As a follow up to the announcement about my upcoming workshop, I've put together a brief essay on using personification to make technical details more interesting.
The key point of the essay, is that we can endow technical objects, like the Oracle cost-based-optimizer, with personality by talking about it like it's a person. I didn't put too fine a point on it, but if the Oracle CBO had a personality, it'd be a passive-aggressive jerk, with a petty streak a mile wide.
"Oh, you gave me a hint? Well, screw you and your hint. I'm going to ignore it, and while I'm at it, I'm going to ignore the index you want me to use too."

Not to put words in Mark's mouth, but this happens on TDWTF time, which is, "We're not going to say, because we honestly don't know."
The result is a terrible compromise. At the very least, they should have never added lambdas, without fixing that. The result is a "me too" feature that doesn't work.
