Is the whisky Laphroaigh? If so that's a mighty fine whisky

Do most of you even know what a polder[^] is? 
Well, as a Dutchie, I live in one!
It's quite far from the cities, the nearest big city is Rotterdam at a little over 50 km.
My current commute to Utrecht is about 100 km (a good hour drive), but luckily I can work from home one or two days a week (out of four).
Anyway, I wouldn't want to move because it's just too quiet and beautiful over here!
These pictures were taken just outside my house (I live on the edge of the village) where I like to go for walks.
It's all farmlands.

Outside of the Netherlands, these are known as swamps
Seriously, it looks like a very peaceful place to live.

But if you drain a swamp you'll get...
Oh, I see, yes you're quite right.
Move on folks, nothing to see here.

We didn't drain a swamp, we drained the friggin North Sea.
We Dutch are water wizards, show some respect!

I'm not going to spell that one out for you, but you're on the wrong track.
Read it again will you.

I wouldn't know; I've never had to hide a body.

Ever heard of the phrase "Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live."?
I'm that violent psychopath
Dumping bodies is also a nice skill on your resume

I'm familiar with the phrase. My problem with using psychopaths for maintenance or QA is that they let their emotions control. That causes them to make mistakes.
I much prefer the old-fashioned methods - proper design, good coding practices, etc., the idea being that if a bug makes it all the way to QA - something has gone very wrong. Of course, I don't work in "Internet time"...

How you tell the difference between summer and winter? It is unclear from the pictures...

The winter pictures should be clear, there's ice on the ground and in the water.
That I had the actual date the photos were taken in the filename helped too

Ugh! Too flat!
(To each his own. Glad you like it!)
