And taking a stand that says crappy code should be accepted will never advance the craft.

>If I type 10 lines of code, at least 6 of them will have a mistake in them. One of the reasons I love the VS IDE is that the intellisense finds most of them for me.
>But even if they're corrected, they're still errors and I know that there are plenty of logic errors that intellisense misses.
>As a result I probably spend more time designing test cases than the average programmer.
>Just a couple of weeks ago someone exposed a bug in some of my code that's been executed at least a thousand times daily for the past ten years

>Error-free code is an oxymoron and a dangerous myth.
