New IT Phrase

Where I had hear of Rocket Surgery for the really hard stuff, this weekend I had to do some things on the fly in production to get a go-live completed after a 14 month effort. After the 11th hour of effort and final success, I thought of:

Cowboy Rocket Surgery.

Why I Still Prefer Java to C#

While C# is a pretty robust language, the following production code would never get past any Java IDE I have ever used:

private void VerifyPrePopulate(string ReportQtr, string VerifyType)
{
    try
    {

    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        lblErMsg.Text = "Error Message:" + ex.Message;
        lblErMsg.Visible = true;
    }
}
