Programmers! Always in a battle against infinite possibilities and limited lines of code, limited time, limited budget and limited patience! And on top of them all limited brain.
We start development. We think we can do it all. We think we can code a perfect program. Huh! What's the big deal.
We start testing. We think those bugs are fixable. Ah! How silly. We will fix them rightaway. Tiny bugs - here we come.
We start integration testing. We think, other programmer's code sucks. We think - she must change her code - dim wit! But then compassion takes over and we believe in hope. We change our own code and move on. Don't look back - no regrets.
We start system testing. We think, we need a break. But then we change the code, add new lines to it, but we know we are slowly losing it to anonymity.
Users start testing. We wish we could go on a long vacation which would never end. Can do no more. We have already run the scripts 107 times. Someone take it away from us. We don't do anything anymore. Someone pushes us - do it! do it! do it!
Code goes live - and we say - Never again. It's ok to be imperfect. Let's just evolve. Don't be perfect. Let there be bugs.
