- While perusing the erudite messages in this area I was amazed to read this
- fascinating note from Duanne Barry to All:
-
- DB> I've just spent the last 2 months coding a large and complex algorithm
- DB> on a Unix box (Sun Sparc 10).
-
- DB> I've have made hundreds of critical bugs that generally just cause the
- DB> entire code to blow up (eg. memory overwriting, runaway loops, etc).
- DB> But never ever did any of my bugs actually crash the Unix box (ie. it
- DB> never needed a reboot) due to the lovely memory protection.
-
- What is the point of this message.
-
- You seem to be proud of writing bad code.
