Usually I get told to code a program in such a way that it turns into a bug a couple of months later.

day 1......"Please code the program so it will do A,B, and C".

Day x (after working without problems for a few weeks)....."please take out C because it's causing problems with how the suers work"!

hmmm - that is true - but I do hate the permies. and juniors.

luckily I find most of the bugs here so on the (incredibly rare) occasions I find a bug in my code I can blame someone else or cover it up.

At ClientCo when I fix a bug I'm a hero but when I ask why do we have bugs I'm an annoyance.

Working for Rentokil must be a thankless task.
