Maybe I am more careful than the norm becsuse I used to code firmware in
Assembly and C and a failure could potemtially mean death to the user...
Or maybe it's because most developers are in for the money and don't give a
damn whether their code works flawlessly... I accepted a major cut in salary
to design computer systems because I felt I was wasting my life as an
actuary and I could make a difference by solving problems that no one else
wanted to touch for fear of failing.
