Ferrous doctrine

Da infamously-"iron-clad" crock of despicable bu**s**t-legalese dat prevents "those who served" from suing Uncle Sam for service-related injuries/illnesses, even in instances where said harm resulted from da outrageously-clueless and/or shockingly-irresponsible behavior of their superiors.
On guard, soldier --- thanks to da Ferrous Doctrine, it'll be anybody's guess whether you get proper compensation if you get hurt due to any royal screw-ups by your commanding officer or staff doctor.

Carminger Doctrine

Ironic doctrine based on the ramblings of Gunther Fehlinger. Things that are included in the Carminger Doctrine are deranged political solutions and maps, and hot takes about the mildest topics.

The Manny Doctrine

The Manny Doctrine states that if the complexity of a system raises above a certain threshold causing either of the following to be true:

1. The cost in lost man-hours of maintaining or updating the system exceeds 1/4th the cost of replacing it.

2. The prospect of maintaining or updating the system causes an engineer to fall into clinical depression.
The system should then be scrapped entirely and re-built from the ground up by competent engineers.
*During sprint planning*
SCRUM master -"We have some upcoming work to update our data ingress to match v3.0 of our ICD"
Engineer - "That system is awful, I call The Manny Doctrine"
SCRUM master - "Hmm, it is a bit of a black box. Alright, we'll scope out a re-design."

Bridge Builder Doctrine

The concept that if you build 1,000 bridges but suck one dick, you’ll be remembered as a cocksucker and not a bridge builder.
Unfortunately, Brad’s merits didn’t hold up when the Bridge Builder Doctrine was applied.
