Found it! I did not previously know this vignette: https://books.google.com/books?id=Wh4nAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA274&lpg=PA274&dq=oppenheimer+the+atomic+bomb+is+shit+szilard&source=bl&ots=rIi80Vof-V&sig=4fB3qlWWFvKILGwpP5mlAYSofGM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiUpY6SxoXWAhVr5IMKHVPhCGkQ6AEIFDAD …pic.twitter.com/jLMhBIbjMO
Everyone, repeat after me: nuclear weapon testing is not like software development.pic.twitter.com/hPmttbDODN

also, I don't know if this is the author, or the author ripped off his bio, but the list of specialties is *exact*: http://www.ams.jhu.edu/~spall/Personal/ …
No no no no no. Spall is a well-regarded mathematician.
(Assuming it is not him. Which seems like a polite assumption in any case for something this silly!)
