Things I need to stop doing at work:
- Asking childless atheists how it feels to be a Darwinian failure.
- Referring to the PM as “Captain Timewaster” in team meetings.
- Putting a brown crayon streak down the middle of my manager’s guest chair.
- Using “Please God, let this code work for once” as a check-in comment.
- Sabotaging developers I compete against in the review process by recommending they invest the time required to master emacs.
- Recommending non-existent books to junior developers. No more “Object-Oriented Scheme” and “Design Patterns in Perl”
- Referring to UML diagrams as “finger-paintings created by the illiterate, for the illiterate.”
- Suggesting “Yippee-ki-yay Mother-f*****r” as a team motto.
