There have been times I've considered homicide as a method for handling this, yes.

My experience is, that people who are writing bad code have also bad habits. So I often critize bad code to hit these guys.
God bless we only a small amount of this slack. (but I know one - one of my collegues)

I know exactly how you feel, same here!

Ask rather how one will react to the news that he has been made a plural.
This fear of he, him, and his as the standard generic singular pronouns has gone far enough. Men, find your balls. Women, get over yourselves.

Poorly written code that works, and keeps on working, triumphs over elegant code that hasn't been deployed or doesn't work.
Also, having the 'OK' button in the right spot means more to users than the architecture of your solution.
I've based my 12 year career on putting out crap code that works.

Hey, you're the one with the pseudo name "Slacker"
p.s. Don't pick on the "senior" coders - I am very senior and take great pride in producing quality stuff.
p.s.s. Where's the wink-wink smiley? That emoticon was done with a ';'.

The universe has provided these idiots to serve you: thanks to them, you will never be unemployed.
I do feel, however, that the universe should provide a type of "buy four, get one free" policy - i.e. after having cleaned up the mess that four of them have made, you should be allowed legally to murder the fifth one. It's only sanitary, after all...

I agree; but, even so, we have the imagination and audacity to dream that we can get out there one day - and we will!

We went to the Tower of London for a wee moonlit tour and diner last night. And of course we got to watch the Cermony of the Keys[^]. They lock up the tower and after a quick God Save the Queen, the bugler plays Last Post.
But we were inside the [now locked up] Tower. But that's okay, there's a side door in the main doors that they leave open.
|
|

|
|
That was just an oversight... Next time they'll be sure to lock the side door, too.
I mean, be realistic... The queen must feed...

Perhaps an emergency / fire exit, meant for easy access?
|
|
|
|
|
It's a bally castle! It was built some 900 years ago! WTF do they want a fire exit for?
|
|
|
|
|
Fire accidents could occur in those days too, isn't it?
|
|
|

And that was why that either had a bucket of sand or a bucket of water next to the door.

Replace the door with a one-way vertical turnstile?
At my previous work site, the turnstiles were verticle and card-swipe to enter the mill. Swipe to unlock and enter; swipe to unlock and leave.
If you lost your card in the mill... too bad for you!
