Dummkopf
I received this e-mail ad yesterday and felt a burning need (which will not be articulated) to post it on this bogus blog:
Shhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone, but I’m a fan of the “Dummies” series because…. I am a freakin’ Dummkopf. The first book I ever studied on C++ was “C++ For Dummies“. Double-Shhh!!!!
If you stumble across a “Software Engineering For Dummies” book, please notify me. Even better, keep a lookout for a “Software Engineering For Idiots” book.
Note: Since the links in jpg images don’t work, here’s the link you want to click, if you do indeed want to click it: Systems Engineering for Dummies – Effective Application Lifecycle Management Solutions Lab. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. Mum’s the word.
Sergeant Schultz Defense
We’ve heard it before, we’re hearing it now from formerly unassailable media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and we’ll hear it again from other self-important papal figures. Yawn.
What will we hear, you ask? Well, it’s the ubiquitous Sergeant Schultz defense: “I hear nothing, I see nothing, I know nothing“. But ya know, the hot shot dudes who whip out this get-out-of-jail-free card may actually be right. If they “skillingfully” setup their borg’s structure and culture so that they can’t know, then they won’t.
