    This happened years ago, but I just remembered it and thought I'd share: the first company for whom I worked out of college often had me complete RFPs (request for proposal) for potential clients and partners. One of them was a gem; here are two questions: Q: Are there any foreseeable complications? If so, list them. A: Fair enough, but there was nothing to report here, so no worries. Q: Are there any unforeseeable complications? If so, list them. A: I think I just put "probably", if memory serves. If I'd listed one, wouldn't I have had to move it to the foreseeable list? I felt like Kirk was trying to make my head explode.

      Obviously, you were supposed to look into your crystal ball and predict the future. ;)

      Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.
