    Architects, engineers and contractors

    Found it somewhere on the web...

    "An architect is said to be a man who knows a very little about a great deal and keeps knowing less and less about more and more until he knows practically nothing about everything, whereas, on the other hand, an engineer is a man who knows a great deal about very little and who goes along knowing more and more about less and less until finally he knows practically everything about nothing.
    A contractor starts out knowing practically everything about everything, but ends up knowing nothing about anything, due to his association with architects and engineers"
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

    Then there's a "Francko". A "Francko" posts more and more drivel about nothing and blames everyone else for his many flaws.

      I'm usually very wary of anyone who calls themselves a 'software architect'

        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus
