Get a bonus for most bugs fixed? Lots of bugs produced, logged and fixed.
Get a bonus for bug free code? Very little code produced.
I do think for economics a more detailed simulation is needed in which we can try different laws before they passed.

- sokoloff 10y agoThe problem with simulation for testing is that it requires creativity. Creativity of a distributed set of actors, each acting in their own (perceived) self-interest and trying to find exploits. If you program a simulation with the same type of thinking used to draft the law, assuming that people will employ and comply with the law "as intended", you're liable to fall prey to an exploit that you weren't creative enough to think about, else you'd have (possibly) addressed it in the law.
