Yes, this came from an email. But it was just to good not to share Top 10 things likely to be overheard from a Klingon Programmer 10. Specifications are for the weak and timid! 9. You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand! 8. Indentation?! - I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull! 7. What is this talk of ''release''? Klingons do not make software ''releases''. Our software ''escapes'' leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake. 6. Klingon function calls do not have ''parameters'' - they have ''arguments'' - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM. 5. Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak. 4. A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment on his code! 3. Klingon software does NOT have BUGS. It has FEATURES, and those features are too sophisticated for a Romulan pig like you to understand. 2. You cannot truly appreciate Dilbert unless you''ve read it in the original Klingon. 1. Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!

Yes, but I''m a trek nerd, and a programming nerd. So it fits

I''ve heard the list with #5 as "commenting" instead of "debugging". Coddle is a highly underused verb.

Another fond entry of mine:
- This machine is GAGH! I need dual Pentium processors if I am to do battle with this code!

(note: I realize that''s dated)

When I read this I remembered seeing a compiler for a klingon programming language a few years back. And I found some info on it.

quote:

// Not the canonical var''aq "hello, world"; actually prints
// "What do you want, universe?" in Klingon

~ nuqneH { ~ ''u'' ~ nuqneH disp disp } name
nuqneH



var''aq resources.
