"Programmers are not to be measured by their ingenuity and their logic but by the completeness of their case analysis." - Alan Perlis

  Does that really cover everything that goes into a good measure of their code? ;-)

    No, I would say that it's necessary but not sufficient.

    It's a good baseline. I once wrote a paper featuring about 20 pages of case analysis. This makes me good programmer, yes? Well okay I wrote a dozen paragraphs of code and a theorem-checking algorithm, and abused that algorithm to populate a human-readable latex template, and published that without shame. Such a good programmer.
