"Oh, hi, nice to see you! I didn't expect to see you at a pub! "
"Well, the moon is full."
"Why, are you a werewolf?"
"A werewere."
"Weh?"
"I don't usually go out, but I was once bitten by an extrovert, so when the moon is full I crave company."
"Bitten?"
"Well, nibbled."
"Nice."

niemand schafft alles was er/sie will oder muss. niemand hat immer energie. niemand macht keine fehler. niemand hat keine kämpfe oder keine probleme. sagt das ruhig mal leuten die es gebrauchen können.

mir erzählte heute jemand, dass er jeden tag kämpft um aufzustehen und durchzukommen, und ich hab erklärt, dass das vielen leuten so geht und mir auch. die person so "was? hätte ich nicht gedacht. du wirkst immer so alles im griff" und ich so "jo". das hat der person mut gemacht.

Found online:

"Alpha Male", the early version of a male, before testing and bug fixes. Unstable and not suitable for the public.

After many years he finally found the hidden temple, where monks of an ancient order were said to guard the oldest, strongest Word Of Power.
They proudly showed him the Word.
"No?" he exclaimed. "The Word is 'no'? That holds no power!"
The monks looked away from him in sadness.

"Greetings, Earthlings, we come in peace. Take us to-"
"Do you have a tractor beam?"
"-your... Pardon?"
"A tractor beam. Or some other way of lifting something huge and heavy?"
"Of course, but-"
"Do you know where the Suez channel is?"

This interview with Jim Blandy tells some interesting historical anecdotes about #CVS and #SVN

https://corecursive.com/software-that-doesnt-suck-with-jim-blandy/

Worth listening to if you are interested in how version control systems are (or were) made.

(Personal note: I've been involved in SVN since 2007 and this is the first time I've heard Jim's perspective. He was one of the project founders in 2000 but moved on after only one year. Sadly, I never got to interact with Jim, nor with the happy CVS network code author )

Man kann auch Ananas dazugeben

A programmer implements a bar. The tester goes in and orders a beer, orders zero beers, orders 999999999 beers, orders -1 beers, orders a lizard, and declares the bar ready for release.

The first customer comes in and asks to use the restroom.

The bar catches fire and burns down.

Can't think of a better analogy
