In the beginning was the plan, and then the specification.
And the plan was without form, and the specification
was void.
And darkness was on the faces of the implementors thereof.
And they spoke unto their leader, saying: “It is a
crock of shit, and smells as of a sewer.”
And the leader took pity on them, and spoke
to the project leader: “It is a crock of excrement, and none may abide the odor thereof.”
And the project leader spoke unto his section head, saying: “It
is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that
none may abide it.”
The section head then hurried to his department manager, and informed him thus: “It is a
vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength.”
The department manager carried these words
to his general manager, and spoke unto
him saying: “It containeth that which aideth
the growth of plants, and it is very strong.”
And so it was that the general manager rejoiced
and delivered the good news unto the Vice resident:
“It promoteth growth, and it is very powerful.”
The Vice President rushed to the President's side, and joyously exclaimed:
“This powerful new software product will promote
the growth of the company!”
