> I don't want to write bulletproof code, I want to teach them how and why to write bulletproof code. This confuses me. How can you teach someone to do something if you won't do it yourself? Reading your statement literally, you are effectively going to say, "This is how and why to write bulletproof code, but I'm not going to." The whole point of LxTHW is to learn by doing. If you're doing it wrong, they're learning it wrong. > I'm not qualified to meet that kind of lofty standard anyway. Then you shouldn't write the book. Honestly. I know you intend to do some good and to be productive, but serving as a teacher and a reference point in an area that you're not qualified in is actually counterproductive. I'm not saying don't write the book. Get qualified first.
