I think the last point is the best one, and something that I'll try to keep in mind > And what do you do when that awful, black day arrives? Here’s a quick coping manual from those of us who have been there: Don’t pretend it didn’t happen — you screwed up, but your mother still loves you Don’t minimize the problem, shrug it off or otherwise make light of it — this is serious business, and your colleagues take it seriously If someone spent time debugging your bug, thank them If someone was inconvenienced by your bug, apologize to them Take responsibility for your bug — don’t bother to blame other subsystems, the inherent complexity of the software, your code reviewers, your testers, the community, etc. If it was caught before it was running in production, be thankful that a production user wasn’t affected by it
