Sicilians are great programmers. The best in the world. I'm sicilian. My old man was the world heavy weight champion of sicilian programmers. And from growing up with him, I learned the errors.

Now there are seventeen different things a guy can do to give himself away when he programs. A guy has seventeen errors. A woman's got twenty but a guys got seventeen. And if you know em, like you know your own face, they beat a compiler all to hell. What we've got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothing but you're telling me everything. Now I know you know what this function does, so tell me before I do some damage you wont be able to unit test your way out of.
