19 Eponymous Laws Of Software Development - a.k.a Therapy

I was recently catching up on some old DotNetRocks podcasts (you *do* listen to DNR, right???) and during the show with Mr. Phil Haack (one of the best computer names ever), he mentioned a page containing the 19 Eponymous Laws Of Software Development.  Don't worry if you don't know what eponymous means as there is a link to dictionary.com in that post.  If you've ever been a developer or around developers, this post will be very therapudic and should help you share a chuckle with your fellow developers.

My personal favorite is Hofstadter’s Law because it is recursive and recursion is powerful and dangerous!

I hope the 19 laws brighten your day!

You mean, Haacked? I just want to know how that name came into being. I understand miller (beer), smith (metal), and coors (beer) - (is that a name?) - but Haack? Was he born from aliens from the future? Thanks for the link :)
