'No Bugs' Bunny

Once upon a time, in a rabbit outsourcing warren of Bunnylore, there was a young software developer bunny. And as a developer, he has had one very unusual treat: he was obsessed with eliminating all the bugs he can get his forelegs on. So, it is not surprising that his friends called him a “No Bugs” Bunny (or simply “NoBugs”).

Later on, he grew up, so he decided that “Bunny” in his name has became inappropriate (not to mention potential arguments with Warner Brothers), so he has asked all his friends to call him “No Bugs” Hare. He has made a career as a team lead and software architect, and they lived happily ever after.

UDP from MOG Perspective

Quote: “you may think of UDP as of an analog of good old C: you can do pretty much everything, but it is not because the language helps you – it is rather because it doesn’t stand in the way :-)”
Another Quote: “As most of the routers (including pretty much every backbone router out there) are not configured to support multicast, it makes multicast over the public Internet hopeless :-(“

Quote: “Doing sanitization at IDL level automates quite a bit of tedious-and-error-prone work, which is always a Good Thing™”
Another Quote: “Hey, this whole thing can be made MUCH simpler, the only thing we need to acknowledge is that the best identifier for a string is the string itself!”

Facelift for ‘No Bugs’

posted by

Quote: “To avoid ‘No Bugs’ becoming a “display of blatant cuteness” and to avoid this “salesman-like” appearance (which has never been the idea behind ‘No Bugs’) – we decided to give ‘No Bugs’ a facelift.”
