From TFPDF:
"If you lie to the computer, it will get you."
From my observation at work, I'd change this to:
"If you lie to the computer, it will let you."
Lots of people who take computer output as gospel. They never get, GIGO.
- freehunter 8y agoI think the original comment was the natural extension of "it will let you". Yeah, it will let you, and you might not notice. And then a week later, a month later, suddenly something doesn't work right. There's no immediate cause for the error you're seeing. The debug output isn't pointing to anything you've worked on recently. Why isn't this working? The change you just made is absolutely flawless. But it calls a function you wrote last month and forgot about, and that function is wrong. It let you lie to it, and then it got you.
