I don’t really give a tulip any more

There was something I was reading the other day about the MVC pattern and thought how very true.

When was the last time you saw the MVC pattern implemented correctly? (That you didn't code up yourself, that is)

Isn't that why things like Apache and Spring exist? Or do lots of projects forbid using 'evil open source'
code?

What they should have done is taken the bonus out of the programmers pay

You evil bastard.

You evil bastard.

keeps people on their toes

actually a "bonus fund" could be established.
testers are paid out of the fund for every bug found
anything left is paid to the developers

I think TheDailyWTF had something like that. The coders and testers worked as a team whereby the coder would fix a bug but leave some small aspect unresolved to be re-raised, or the coder would introduce tiny unimportant bugs so the tester could catch them.

That reminds me of the lass who was once testing an app that I was developing. She was extremely devious with the tests she devised, and I entered into the spirit of the competition by refusing to be beat. The end result was probably the most rock solid app that company had ever produced. Job satisfaction indeed
