When Software and Politics Collide

This quote is too perfect... too funny... and applies equally well to both my personal blogs.  I just don't know where to put it, but I have to share it.  From Nathaniel Borenstein:

It should be noted that no ethically-trained software engineer would ever consent to write a DestroyBaghdad procedure. Basic professional ethics would instead require him to write a DestroyCity procedure, to which Baghdad could be given as a parameter.

Via Coding Horror who has many other fantastic quotes to share.  My personal favorite quote is from Michael Sinz:

Programming is like sex, one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.
