The Duct Tape Programmer 551
theodp writes "Joel Spolsky sings the praises of The Duct Tape Programmer, who delivers programming teams from the evil of 'architecture astronauts' who might otherwise derail a project with their faddish programming craziness. The say-no-to-over-engineering attitude of the Duct Tape Programmer stems not from orneriness, but from the realization that even a 50%-good solution that people actually have solves more problems and survives longer than a 99% solution that nobody has because it's in your lab where you're endlessly polishing the damn thing. Like Steve Jobs, Duct Tape Programmers firmly believe that Real Artists Ship."

Because they don't provide a commercial environment for software developers to flourish in, no one is going to learn to develop for their platforms anymore and then after that no one is going to buy them.
This will happen about the same times Jobs dies due to remission of pancreatic cancer. It'll all happen within the next 10 years or so.
Why? Because Krishna is offended by Apple's faggotry.

US Government Sets Up Online "App Store" 138
krapper writes "The Obama administration has unveiled a government 'app store' designed to push the federal bureaucracy into the era of cloud computing. The change means some federal employees will begin using services like YouTube, Gmail and WordPress, which store data on private internet servers instead of on those paid for with public money. The process will start small but will ramp up quickly, Vivek Kundra, the US chief information officer, said in a blog post on Tuesday. 'Our policies lag behind new trends, causing unnecessary restrictions on the use of new technology,' Kundra writes in the post on WhiteHouse.gov. 'We are dedicated to addressing these barriers and to improving the way government leverages new technology.' The app store is designed for federal employees doing official government business and is not intended for use by the public."

Indeed. In an era when Britain would forcefully deny the rights of other nations and dominate them militarily all around the world, it also denied human sexuality and imposed an equally immoral view of "ethical requirements" on people regardless of how they felt about it.
Said era was the apex of human civilization. Indians and Chinese of sufficient family background and educational level acknowledge the benefits British colonialism brought to human civilization in excess of the costs. It's only hella dumb, inferior, and physically ugly, low-class monkey-ass ooga-booga people who have a problem with it. (i.e. you) > Both the lack of an empire and the lack of Victorian standards are signs of an increasingly moral and ethical British society. The lack of empire and moral standards are signs of an irrelevant and backwards dadaist society that has no morals or ethics. The UK is nothing but a bunch of God-damned degenerate shits these days. (i.e. you)
I too agree that this is no accident, both are signs of increasing enlightenment among the British (and the world at large).
Enlightenment amongst the world at large? No there isn't. The world is filled with hideous, backwards-caste shits. It is imperative that your type be reduced in number by 90% or more because the brand of retardation you spread is the last thing the world needs more of.

Apparently the movement in Britain to legitimate homosexuality began as a rebellion against the infusion of Judeo-Christian ideals in society and the onerous ethical requirements of the Victorian era.
That said, I argue that it is no accident that during the era it was said that the sun never sets on the British Empire, while these days other powers are in ascendancy.
Geeks Prefer Competence To Niceness 300
Death Metal writes "While everyone would like to work for a nice person who is always right, IT pros will prefer a jerk who is always right over a nice person who is always wrong. Wrong creates unnecessary work, impossible situations and major failures. Wrong is evil, and it must be defeated. Capacity for technical reasoning trumps all other professional factors, period."
