Freebsd Murphys Law

Real programmer's programs never work the first time.  But
if you throw them on the machine, they can be patched into
working in "only a few" 30-hour debugging sessions.

Real programmers don't write in Fortran.  Fortran is for
pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies.

Real programmers never work 9 to 5.  If any real
programmers are around at 9 a.m., it's because they
were up all night.

Real programmers don't write in Basic.  Actually, no
programmers write in basic after age 12.

Real programmers don't write in PL/1.  PL/1 is for
programmers who can't decide whether to write in
COBOL or Fortran.

Real programmers don't play tennis or any other sport
that requires you to change clothes.  Mountain climbing is
O.K., and real programmers wear their climbing boots to work
in case a mountain should suddenly spring up in the middle
of the machine room.

Real programmers don't write in Pascal, Bliss, or Ada, or
any of those pinko computer science languages.  Strong
typing is for people with weak memories.

On a clear disk, you can seek forever.

Hollerith got us into this hole mess!

No major project is ever installed on time, within budgets,
with the same staff that started it.  Yours will not be the
first.
