However, once you do accidentally have a child, the results are often not pretty, and I will feel bad watching as you deal with the consequences of your poorly thought out decision. Regarding programming, I can't see the relationship you make at all. If you write a good program, well good job. If you write a bad program, you are probably going to write a better one next time. (Ever look back at your old code?) It takes practice to get good, and the more we work at it, the better we'll get. Just keep trying. |
It's as if I say: "Step 1 of writing good code: Don't make mistakes. If you make mistakes, you deserve what's coming to you!" Some mistakes are expected, and essentially inevitable; they're the default, not the exception. Blaming the programmer might seem like the right thing to do, but there's more practical benefit to improving the tools and teaching programmers how to handle errors, so that we can decrease the negative impact that bugs will have.
