My Mission Statement

[flwyd]

In a meeting to discuss mission-statement type things where people kept mentioning things like "quality" as goals, I stated

"My mission is to write software that kicks ass."

Would that be a bug or a feature?

There are lots of potential asses and lots of ways to kick.

One guy gave me shit because I claimed that vi kicked ass. I responded that if we sold vi to our customers then we'd be kicking our ass.

Hah. A noble goal!

That's a good goal. Anyone can write software that takes names.

Unit test

try
{
Ass oAss = AssFactory.newAss(ROTUND);

oAss.kick();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
fail("Ass not kicked.");
}

Implementation of dependant objects are left to the reader.
