Ordered to write a backdoor into our software...?

Hmmm....

Goodbye Meyers, Stroustrup, ANSI, STL, MISRA, Git, static analysis, deodorant, unit tests and code reviews.

Hello to warnings-off, backup zip files, tabs, not-invented-here, assembly, globals, custom-builds-of-gcc, goto, spaghetti, poor personal hygiene and 'How To Write Unmaintainable code'. Did you know most software projects fail? What am I working on? Can't tell you. Are you sure I can discuss time estimates with you? Some of these specifications seem vague, I've just got a few more questions... That last release crashes all the time? Works fine on my machine. Although, my machine is really slow, and I am using CUDA to speed up compilation so I really need a couple of those new nVidia cards to get speed things up. Fuck, my tunnel-carpel is playing up again... Time for another coffee.
