The Eight Stages of Programming a New Feature

We all heard about the five stages of grief as defined by the Kübler-Ross model. Now, My 25 Percent presents the new, revised model describing the eight stages that a software developer goes through when asked to develop a new feature.

The Terrorist Video

It seems that every day now, terrorists release video messages directed at the American people, in which they threaten to attack the U.S. homeland, or at the least serve rotten Kebab in NJ Middle-Eastern restaurants. The latest tape comes from the most infamous arch-terrorist alive today, Aybeen Nawty Zhbankmi, hiding in a cave somewhere in eastern Whateverstan.

Ok, so maybe charging $180 for a 16GB iPod Nano with a built-in video cam is not a crime against humanity. But it sure as hell stinks as Bin Laden's cave on garbage day...
