A colleague just shared this gem with me:
Starting with two premises — that all software contains bugs and that all software can be built with fewer lines of code — one can inductively prove that all programs can be reduced to a single line of code that doesn’t work.
Case in point:
$application_id = 4; //always 5 for this app
(Walked right into that one, didn’t ya)
I get the sense I’m not going to live that one down for a while.
