I have yet to write bug free software.

Norb, over the span of my career i've worked with, fought with, argued with and occassionally managed over a couple hundred Software Engineers including some of the best in the industry. Not one ever initially produced bug-free code, not a one.

However there was this Chinese guy who came close. He could write code faster than i could think! He was assigned to me for one of my projects and i gave him three days to write the assembler code for an embedded micro controller chip. This guy studied the schematic, asked a whole bunch of detailed questions at the design review, took copies of the product definition, timing diagrams and flow charts with him and then went off to produce a couple thousand lines of the finished code a few hours later that same day!! :ohmy:
And to top it off only a couple bugs were found after testing which he fixed in a uSecond.

Norb = A Chinese game coding, Philadephia Eagles fan, who went to the USNA and skippered a Junk........that, or the S.S. Minnow (where he picked up estabu?! as first mate).:blink:

Good thing we McNabb'd him to code our games.

:laugh: :laugh: Sorry estabu, but i got a serious belly laugh out of that statement from our resident standup (or is it sitdown) comedian!!:laugh: :laugh:

On the serious side, i don't know why it is but its been my observation that Chinese guys make some of the best software coders. I remember yet another excellent Chinese SW Engineer i forgot about who had just started working recently. One morning when i showed up for work with cup of coffee in hand, i went to the SW area to do some serius BS'n. To my astonishment everyone in that department including his boss referred to this new Chinese guy as Leo!
When i asked his boss why they called him Leo:dry: he said they all couldn't pronounce his long 'n difficult Chinese name so they just called him Leo.
Apparently it was just fine with Leo.:dry:
