All Saturday Stories and Sunday Comics are works of pure fiction. Any similarity between persons depicted therein is purely coincidental.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no entry is about any person in particular.

These are common themes that run throughout a great many software development organizations.

If you think something in here is about you, you are mistaken...but you should probably look into whatever it is that makes you think that.
