Bees

In a beekeeping class recently, I learned:

Always have a water source for your bees. If you don't, the bees will go to the neighbor who dislikes bees the most and find water there.

The origin of the word politics:

Poly: many.
Ticks: little, blood-sucking parasites.

Software and Cars Don't Mix

When your car crashes, aren't you glad that software engineers don't write the deployment software? For instance, if:

Microsoft wrote it: "Are you really sure you want to deploy your airbags?"

Apple wrote it: "You can only enable airbags on up to five separate cars connected to your account."

Linux devs wrote it: "Couldn't find the drivers!"

UNIX devs wrote it: "What's a 'crash'?"

If the deployment code was written in Java, it would take 30 seconds to deploy.
If the deployment code was written in HTML, each car maker would deploy the airbags differently.

Java...

You know why they named the Java programming language 'Java'? It's because you can start it compiling, go brew yourself a pot of coffee, drink a cup of coffee, drink another cup of coffee, go to the bathroom, and then get back to your desk before it finishes.

I hate Java. Or couldn't you tell?
