      Give me something with more 'meat':

      After the 'genius' programmer has left the project for more money, his horrible code crashes the first time someone tries to touch it, everything stops working, and the department struggles for survival, all the while the "big guys" stomp around bellowing and threatening to eat any failures alive. All is saved by a 'junior' member of the staff, who volunteers their unexpected expertise ("I know this!"), accomplishing a miracle save with a few mouse clicks, and the systems come back to life. Not wanting to be swallowed up by the all-consuming system, the entire remaining staff then bug out for better working conditions leaving the company to collapse from its own internal faults.

      Without specifying a year or range of years, a poll like this would always be out of date, unless, somehow, automatically updated.

        The post (from 2006) has the option "None of the above, please specify". Complicating matters by introducing a time factor for some reason makes no sense to me.

          NotA is a poor excuse. :) Adding a time factor simplifies the question as no new answers can be added (once all relevant ones are there). For example "what was the best movie in 2006?" is a good question even if a new movie comes out in 2007. Although many things evolve slowly (such as language, for example) movies are continuously being made (and remade). Although NotA sort of handles the problem, it only does so only technically but does not actually address the issue.
