I found out that most programmers don't like to test their software as intensely as I do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence!
I'm not saying we purposely introduced bugs or anything, but this is kind of a natural result of any complexities of software... that you can't fully test it.
Programmers can be lazy.
The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it's too late.
Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.
We have a very active testing community which people don't often think about when you have open source.
The most frequent complaint is that it's hard. True. it's a hard game to win Also, many people ask me how to use the secret debugging commands, apparently under the impression that I'll tell them.
A lot of people assume that creating software is purely a solitary activity where you sit in an office with the door closed all day and write lots of code.
I hate tests. It's a really lousy way to judge a person's ability.
I'm not a programmer myself, but I am a very, very picky end user of technology. I like my machines to work they way they're supposed to, all the time.
