IT Best Practices

It's my field.
Is there anyone else here into ITIL, COBIT etc.?
By all means PM me if you are still in the closet.
Cheers.

ITIL? No, but I know the difference between redundant and diverse and how hard it is to buy four nines and an eight type reliability for an international telecom service.

I'm notorious for not commenting my code. That's a best practice, yes?

Haven't done any programming in years. I think the amount of comments in my code would diminish as a project went on. Hey, if they got that far I'm sure they can figure out the rest.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I put some humorous comments in my code, but I'm the only one reading, because I don't do it professionally. Yeah kids, don't do drugs and don't drop after highschool, it will come and bite you in the ass later.

I'm not sure how my search for follow ITIL gurus became a programming thread but hey ho, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em...
I once set up a help desk system with the following levels of urgency for Incidents:
Critical
Urgent
Normal
Trivial
To this day, I don't think anyone noticed.
My bad.

I was excited to click on this as I thought it was about
Internet
Trolling.
