I think the bugs left in by the SV culture are less important than the one they do fix. The most important bug is that the software doesn't solve the problem that you have. It doesn't matter how reliably it doesn't solve your problem

We really are often best off, with the problem, if the cure is worse than the disease. When I was younger, we had a saying: To err is human, but it takes a computer to really fuck things up.
