I remember coming across a couple of amusing things a while ago which I should have bookmarked but didn’t, so I’m turning to the collective wisdom and knowledge of the Dope in the hope of finding them again.
-
A cartoon (or possibly just a graph) illustrating the difference between developers and normal people. The essence of the joke is that normal people repeat things and have a linearly increasing effort curve with increasing repeats, while developers spend ages scripting things and therefore have a high initial effort, but then it’s totally flat for increasing complexity. This is much harder to describe than I thought!
-
This one is easier, because I know exactly what it is and where it came from. It’s a picture of a tiny plane (perhaps a Cessna) taxing on a runway in front of a huge airliner (probably a 747) and the caption of the picture says something like “Heavy 623, beware flight turbulence departing Runway 26”.
Any takers? I know both these are a long shot but my Google-fu is weak, and has been for a while.
