One common behavior seen in “mature” software engineers
The idea of fixing a whole class of problems is common in safety critical software. When you find the cause of a bug its not just about fixing the bug but looking for this pattern of failure everywhere and fixing that and then understanding the aspects that led to this class of bugs to begin with and eliminating those. Its just good engineering to solve the class of problems not just the bug in front of you.But I have also been part of a team that was replaced by another because we weren't heroic enough, because we had no bugs in our software and there was no drama for the business to get what it wanted and needed. Management rarely values this type of engineering.
