Works on My Machine

How many times did you say this PC? (Pre-Cloud) I remember physically going into someone’s office to pick up their machine so we could debug why some code wasn’t working on their machine. You can’t do that anymore, it’s not possible. Now instead of “My Machine”, it’s “My Environment” – things can work in one and not in the other, but the steps remain the same. What’s the difference?

The Unreported Bugs

The unreported bugs are the worst bugs ar the worst ones of them all. We know they exist, but we don’t want to work on them. We know how bad they are, but we don’t want to test them. They are bigger and of grander scale than anything we have ever seen that resides in our heads but yet we have never done anything with them. We make them so big that they cannot be written down. And yet when we solved them they were not that big, we just put them off, time and time again, hoping they would
