Primate Programmers

This link via Salon took me to the site of Primate Programming Inc., an excellent satire of a startup's website specializing in outsourcing of Java and .Net programming and software testing performed by assorted hominids. Here is a choice items from the corporation's FAQ...

"What about software testing?

"Great apes (hominids) do not have tails, while monkeys do. Research indicates that great apes are very productive in the areas of software maintenance and report writing, while most monkeys will struggle. Monkeys however are great at software testing. So the rule of thumb is, if you don't have a tail, you can probably program.

"We train our baboons specifically for software testing, using various industry-standard testing tools."
