Do not pluralize the phrase "source code"
Posted on January 30, 2007 at 10:16:35 AM
One of my biggest pet peeve's is when I see a programmer writing the words, "source codes," in a forum, blog, et cetera, on the Internet somewhere. So, for the record, I would like to inform these programmers if you are not using source code in a possesive manner than it is always "source code."
This is one of the few words in the English language that retains the same spelling for both its singular and plural form. Other examples of such words are "deer," "Moose," and the list goes on.
So please remember. If you are going to use the phrase "source code," DO NOT F****** PLURALIZE IT!!!!!!

In the information age, the barriers [to entry into programming] just aren't there. The barriers are self imposed. If you want to set off and go develop some grand new thing, you don't need millions of dollars of capitalization. You need enough pizza and Diet Coke to stick in your refrigerator, a cheap PC to work on, and the dedication to go through with it. We slept on floors. We waded across rivers.
