When I work on legacy stuff, I often call myself a "software mechanic" instead of software engineer.

You must be close to declaring a code base obsolete and redeveloping a replacement?
I suppose, now that I think of it every live project should be reviewed every six months to ensure it is viable.
Next you'll be saying you have to install your application to your development system so that you can build it.

No, not that one. The Illusion of the Year vote takes place 29th to 30th June and you're invited[^]! If you can't wait then blow your minds with the top 10 from last year[^]!

The biggest illusion is that your vote actually counts!
Unfortunately, I can't vote for that

Pfft!
What a waste of time that will be!
The biggest illusion of the century so far is "Windows 10 is Great!", and it'll probably be be a long time before that gets beat, because they're not making a windows 11 or higher.

Well, the British have no sex (No Sex Please, We're British[^]), so why would they need birds?

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's because the British Isles are currently part of Europe. They may have to change if the UK votes out later this week. Of course Ireland still being part of the EU might confuse them.

Er, the vote is about leaving the EU not Europe! 
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

Nope, if the Leave campaign wins, Nigel Farright will tow the UK to sunnier climes further away from Calais! 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

In that case, what will he do with Northern Ireland?
(runs, ducks, and hides  )

It's even more bizarre that Russia has none either. Perhaps there's a no-fly zone only birds know about?

Well... considering that your smartphone knows where you live, where you work, who is family, who is friend, when you have an event, how much money you have... and so on, and so on...
A bit too late, don't you think?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
