Some quotes to enjoy the moment
One weather service computer required the meteorologist to enter rainfall in inches. Now these people were used to dealing with hundredths of inches so when you asked them how much rain fell today, they would say, "50" meaning 50/100 of an inch or half an inch.
However to enter this into the computer you had to type "0.50." One fellow forgot this and entered the rain for the day as "50." Now 50 inches is a lot of rain. An awful lot of rain. The computer caught the error, however, and issued an appropriate message:
Build an ark. Gather the animals two by two. . .

The event involves you, [--yeah right you!--] making apps, apps using libraries and APIs under open-source licenses {}
