"The coder has awakened!"
On a previous .NET project I ad-libbed from Frank Herbert's Dune to poke a little fun at our particular situation... I just felt like writing it down somewhere:
“Gates created .NET to train the faithful. One cannot go against the word of Gates”
but this theme works well with other Dune quotes, too, again with a tweak of a word or two here and there (just call me Muad'Dib):
“What .NET language do you despise? By this are you truly known.”
“VB6 teaches the attitude of the knife--chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now, it's compete because it's ended here'”
“Moods are for cattle and loveplay, not for coding!”
“You couldn't code something boundless within the boundaries of any language.”
“An object seen from a distance betrays only it's principle. That which is dark and evil may be seen for evil at any distance.”
“You do not take from this Framework. It grants what it will.”
“We have forgotten that the word 'company' originally meant traveling companions.”
“You hide your real purpose! You throw up a screen of words and they mean nothing!”
“Every technological device contains within it the tools of its opposite, and of its own destruction.”
“What is each application but a memory for those who follow?”
