Mysql with master-master replication: simply set up up triggers, and the system shoots you automatically in the foot.



Objective-C

Objective-C After figuring out what @classes and @implementations to use, you +load the gun and -pullTheTrigger:(id)target. Your foot gets -shot:(id)sender. But you forgot to alloc the objects, to read the values from NSFootDefaults and include the necessary headers from the GunKit framework, so the compiler turns the bullet into a banana. Debugging ShootFoot.app doesn't help either. Finally, giving up, you decide to redesign your GUN with Gorm (Gun Objects Relationship Modeller) and let ObjC-runtime shoot you in the foot elegantly. But then you realize that your GUNmakefile is broken and in your anger, you throw all objects to your foot, smashing it completely.
