I'm beginning to think you're a bit pixilated[^], yourself (a now obscure meaning, perhaps?)

If I recall, it was used at the court hearing in Arsenic and Old Lace. However, I can only seem to find it in "Mr Deeds Goes to Town", q.v.[^]

Right. My memories of really old movies is getting old, too. *sighs heavily, pulls teeth from glass in nightstand* I really have to get it together better in the morning.

Is a radar-equipped boat sensorship?
Is the boat's purser in charge of cents o' ship?
I'll bow to your better judgement; it may all be rudder nonsense anyway; though get it wrong and we'll end up in the dock. (See this, of course...[^])

Of carnal knowledge I acquired such a grip
They took me into the censorship
And the junior censorship, I ween

The quality of your puns is sinking, therefore we bow and wave.
Hmm. What's OriginalGriff an antialias for anyway?

One of the developers is giving me a hard time now.
We have a simple proto to be developed.
Two modules, each having 3 screens.
We just need 6 APIs altogether.
3 for each module.
The developer is so stuck with the "CRUD" idea in mind.
That he cannot resist developing all the Create, Read, Update, Delete & all the fancy REST operations Put, Patch.
I just needed a Create API to populate the data. Nobody cares if the data is deletable or updateable.
I just needed 3 APIs for the first module & then move on two the 2nd module.
Now he's writing the 6th API for the *first module*, Validating and checking a lot of scenarios for update & delete.

However, I disagree that the developer has a curse. Nand32 has the curse ... his developer. ![Big Grin | :-D](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/smiley_biggrin.gif)

Sounds like someone who's been burned one time too many when PHBs declared a prototype to be exactly what they needed and insisted on taking it directly into production.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Bingo! My boss should read this. He exactly has this (sly) behaviour of trying to push a proto into production. But we push him back explaining why that wouldn't work.
But this developer who is doing this genuine proto is just crazy. lol ![Smile | :)](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/smiley_smile.gif)

Tell the boss the prototype has a bug that can delete half of the data randomly, and nobody knows why, so while it's okay as a prototype, it cannot leave a test environment.

So true, this was the first thing which came to my mind as well since it has happened so frequently. The other alternative is when the customer sees the prototype and is frustrated that it isn't a fully functional program they can start using tomorrow. ![Sigh | :sigh:](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/smiley_sigh.gif)

And that colleague that implements more than is asked for? It kind of makes sense to do it if it's going directly from demo to production.

REST operations aren't fancy, they're just operations.
