...And On The Eighth Day, God Created Developers

...And On The Eighth Day, God Created Developers

I am taking a bit of a break from my usual writings and instead am focusing on writing about The Developers.

In the beginning there existed only one Word, and the Word was 'God'.
All else was darkness and void, and without form. So God created the Heavens and the Earth.
He created the Sun, and the Moon, and Stars, so that light might pierce the darkness.
The Earth,,,, God divided between the Land, Air and the Sea.

On the 6th day, God created Men & Women.
On the 7th day, he rested.
...And On The Eighth Day, God Created 'Developers'.

What God said to us is as follows. (This list is by no means exhaustive and I will add to It as I remember more):

God Said: Genesis 2:[18] And the God said, It is not good that the man should be alone;
Developers, you will have NO women!, No or minimum contact with people, LONG hours in the office, Lots of stress and No social life.

God Said: Genesis 2:[21] And the God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept:
Developers, you will be not much of an early riser and prefer to sleep a bit late in the morning. You will be more of a late to bed and late to rise kind of person.

God Said: Genesis 2:[??] God said, Let us make man in our image; who always love.
Developers, your first love will be a computers.

God Said: Genesis 2:[31] God saw everything that he had made, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning a sixth day.
Developers, You can enjoy, spend, drink and dance, but you will have to wait for the weekend.

God Said: Genesis 3:[25] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind;
Developers, you will always see two persons always next to you:
1 – The PM (Project Manager), giving a pleasant smile every time we see him/her.
2 – The TL (Team Leader), busy in scheduling work for us and busy in his/her own world

God Said: Genesis 3:[28] God said, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it;
Developers, You will get frustrated, bored, overburden as a Software developer then you will sacrifice, work hard and become an Entrepreneur. But you will always open a Software Start-up and hire bunch of other Software Developers to work for you. This way your race will Multiply in same industry.

God Said: 7 Genesis 4:[7] If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door;
Develops, You will never understand performance appraisal process.
If you deliver project with quality and on time, then you will lack in Business communication and leadership;
And if you prove your leadership and communication skills, then you will lack in new technology and you need self-learning classes.

God Said: Developers, you will manage and managed by good, bad and ugly managers.
