Things will ALWAYS go wrong...<br />

Everyone who’s ever done development knows what it’s like. It’s late,<br />

you’re on you’re eleventh can <strong>of</strong> Rock Star energy drink, and you still<br />

leave out that one ++ operator somewhere. Suddenly, your elegant code<br />

goes to pieces...bad news is, you don’t realize you’ve got a problem.<br />

At least, not until you’re demoing the s<strong>of</strong>tware for your boss. Remember<br />

the issues we had with Bob’s code in Chapter 6?<br />

236 Chapter 7<br />

I’m not hearing any alert.<br />

And what’s SECRET_POKE_<br />

SEQUENCE? I’m not impressed.<br />

Bob’s code seemed to<br />

work in some places...<br />

...but not in others.<br />

The real problem was that we<br />

were as surprised as the customer<br />

was when things went wrong.<br />

with a bigger team? Different problems?<br />
