I don't get the joke.. why did you post four identical pictures?

Reminds me of that Atlantropa plan. The idea was to drain most of the Mediterranean sea to create new land between Europe and Africa. Some German guy came up with it in the 1920s and spent like 20 years trying to convince people it's a great idea and totally doable. Unfortunately everyone was busy with other stuff back then...

The only winning move is to cook a nice curry, because plain rice is just boring.

This is the way.

Luckily the postgresql docs have links for exactly that

It's like if farmers were just letting plants do all the work, instead of manually assembling the potatoes themselves

That sounds super familiar :D

Anyway, a prototype is not a bad thing, if the managers know the difference. It's easier said than done to "do it right the first time" if you don't know how / what to build. Prototypes can be built to validate hypotheses and generally figure out what works, then build the real thing afterwards.

I can't recall a time when I wasn't lost in the inner solar system. Currently I'm stuck on the third dot - how do I proceed?

The picture shows today's XKCD comic.

Transcript:

[A grayed-out sentence in the Times New Roman font reads "Optimistic aliens measure space typographically". The "O" in "Optimistic" is dark black and indicated as representing the Sun (not to scale). The dots of the letters "i" in the sentence are similarly dark black. The dot in the first "i" in "Optimistic" is indicated as representing Mercury; the dot in the second "i" represents Venus; the dot in the third "i" represents Earth. The dot in the "i" in "aliens" is indicated as representing Mars. The dot in the "i" in "typographically" is indicated as representing Jupiter. A measurement bar indicates that the distance between the "O" and the third "i" in "Optimistic" is equivalent to 1 AU (astronomical unit).]

[Caption below the panel:] 
Space tip: if you're ever lost in the inner Solar System, you can just type out the phrase "Optimistic aliens measure space typographically" in Times New Roman and use the dots as a map.
