                      Not IT specific (Louis Pasteur was credited with this quote in 1854) but absolutely applies...

                      "Fortune favors the prepared mind".

                              Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard

                              Otherwise it is pronounced with an "S" sound.

                              The letter "c" followed by the letters "a", "o", or "u" is typically pronounced as a "hard" c (sounds like "k") such as in the word car, Carolina, curve, course...etc. To make the "c" sound like an "s" when it is followed by the letters "a", "o", or "u", you would typically need a cedilla under the "c". Rare exceptions to this are the common "facade" which was derived from the French word "façade" where the cedilla was eventually removed and pronunciation unchanged.

                              As with other English rules, this is generally the rule that applies most often, and since this isn't a typical word (acronym really), I believe the general rules would apply. So you could use PEBCAK 🙂

                                  Strict hierarchy is a socially acceptable way of stating "intentionally suppressing exposure".

                                    Granted this covers more than just IT, but so very relevant.

                                          I got it from Steve Gibson, but he was quoting someone else, and I wasn't fast enough to write down who he got it from.

                                          I agree, sounds very much like something you'd say @scottalanmiller.

                                            This is one I hate more than anything:

                                            "That's not how we do it, because we've always done it this (other) way"

                                            Okay while why? What issues have happened, what reasoning is there?
