Most of the entries were just funny, the last one is a nuke:

  1. I heard that the only real application for that technology was child pornography. How did you hear about it?

I like your idea. Why don't you write up a white paper and we'll review it at the next staff meeting?

I think I might have said this verbatim before

I was told to write my idea into an article to share internally with engineers. Then someone internally reached out to post it on our company tech blog. Then it got published on the tech blog. So I guess that's something?

As a started reading I thought "Hmm, some of these remind me of [coworker x]". As I continued I realized all of these remind me of [coworker x].

I might have to turn some of these into bingo cards.

I've got one to add that should be used more often than it is.

Wouldn't that require running the service as an admin?

Didn't read all, however, thanks for sharing. Made me laugh and I certainly needed a good laugh today

are you losing because youre wrong or because someone wants to do something a different way and they have more buy in from the rest of the team?

If it’s the first thing just admit youre wrong and move on. If it’s the second thing either bring the data to show your way is better or just go with the other proposal. Having disagreements drag on for too long is going to make everybody unhappy.

edit: ah this is a joke article and not a question from op

If we go with that idea, we're going to have Don Marti camped out in the front lobby with 300 angry software jihad supporters.

do it
