Take the old guestbook example: if you can't add entries to the guestbook the code apparently doesn't work. No way around that.

- earthboundkid 6y agoSubcontract it to someone who writes it with security holes.
- heavenlyblue 6y agoIf you are a lawyer and can’t write you probably wouldn’t be able to sell yourself as a lawyer. However being able to write doesn’t make you a lawyer. Same with the guestbook. It may even work. But on the inside it’s a pile of unmaintainable crap.
- heavenlyblue 6y agoAlso we can take this idea even further: what if only 1% of the entries in the guestbook don’t show? Does the code work? What if it’s so badly written it take someone with a really good experience to be able to prove that bug exists at all? How do you go about proving this? In the real world people are going to dismiss it. If you are playing against a politician you will be told that you simply have a bad memory thinking that some things exist that really don’t.
