<blockquote>As much as I loathe "internet libertarians," when did "libertarian" become a synonym for "dominionist?"</blockquote>

As soon as the dominionists realized that the American Libertarian Party's hatred of Federal governance would suit their purposes extremely well.

Our calendar at work actually introduced me to an insightful quote from Brian Kernighan (co-author of the seminal book on The C Programming Language, and the 'K' in AWK) I hadn't heard before despite not all that far off 20 years in the industry:

<blockquote>Debugging is twice as hard as writing code in the first place. Therefore, if you write code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.</blockquote>

Almost every developer I've encountered, myself included, has often written code as cleverly as possible. Almost all the rest of the time, they've written it as lazily as possible. Learning this quote 20 years ago might've saved me a lot of headaches.

I'd have become a Libertarian if Ayn Rand had been a man. But there's no way Ima get all hot over a book by a woman, because that would be gay.

If Ayn Rand and Rand Paul got married, they could form the Rand Corporation.

Wait, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, dating. Well, I'm for it, as long as the guy pays. I'm old-fashioned that way.

I'd like to think that November 6, 2012 showed them exactly how well that works out. But ignorance springs eternal.
