    "What we do is never understood, but only praised and blamed." Do you have a programmer's motto?

    It is said that the most complex structures built by mankind are software systems. This is not generally appreciated because most people cannot see them. Maybe that's a good thing because if we saw them as buildings, we'd deem many of them unsafe.

      A program is only as good as the number of bugs you can hide in it.

                                          "What we do is never understood, but only praised and blamed." Do you have a programmer's motto?

                                          It is said that the most complex structures built by mankind are software systems. This is not generally appreciated because most people cannot see them. Maybe that's a good thing because if we saw them as buildings, we'd deem many of them unsafe.
