Oh I hope someone can write a scripting tool that places an always copy on every junction of ever wire.  That would be glorious and must be bug free right?

Glad to see I've been immortalized somehow.

LabVIEW - Iconic!

I have got one:

"Caution, Labview may cause blindness"

This is what I see after 8 hours working with LV

It's not impossible to have multiple event structures, but unless you really, really know what you are doing, then you are going to mess them up.

"I'm new to LabVIEW"  means "I can't be bothered to RTFM so I expect you to write my whole application for me"

"I tried all these ideas (no code posted) and it didn't work" means "I didn't try anything but I expect you to write my whole application for me"

Here is one that is inspired by modern silliness.

"Using Globals in a LV program is like climbing into a lions cage and taking a selfie. You may get away with it more than once but eventually it will bite you."

From my 2015 CLA Summit presentation:

"Teach the general solution. Mentor the specific solution."

(Background: I recommend you put the solution that works for most people on the general forums web page where random people will find and use it and give out the specialized solution directly to people you know need it, otherwise you get random people coming to you years later and complaining, "You said do it this [specialized] way on this ancient web page and that broke my test system!")
