“It is never a compiler error”
When I was just getting into the industry, I was offered a job from a team at IBM, working on some OS or other whose name I forgot. I was chatting with the head developer about the workflow. He told me that, as the OS was written in a custom programming language, and the OS was the only program ever written in this programming languages, they found that roughly 50% of the bugs they encountered were in the OS code, and roughly 50% were in the compiler for the OS code.<p>I very politely finished the interview and then ran away as fast as I could and never looked back. I did not need that shit in my life. The world where it&#x27;s always my fault is a better place.
