Public Sticky notes
Members of the Experience Cult believe that it is impossible for any person to do anything they haven't already done before.
Highlighted by tswicegood
They are horrified when presented with any suggestion which doesn't fit with their view of what is fast, but also have a hilariously wrong view of just which operations are fast and which aren't.
Highlighted by tswicegood
They tend to assume that the frameworks have built-in facilities for everything they want to do and the major problem is simply finding them.
Highlighted by tswicegood
Members of the Uncertainty Cult believe that nothing is truly known, and it is best to be as sure as possible before proceeding.
Highlighted by tswicegood
They are frequently seen endlessly refining code of no practical value.
Highlighted by tswicegood
Their code would be absolutely masterful if it weren't for the fact that it is never finished.
Highlighted by tswicegood
When flaws are pointed out they make corrections which fit the letter of the suggestion but which miss the point entirely.
