I heard the following phrase no fewer than three times at a recent tech conference: “Bad Programmers will move heaven and earth to do the wrong thing”. The first time I heard it I thought that it was kind of catchy, maybe I even chuckled a bit with the others
This person went through their entire career and never have met a bad programmer?
It's not just about the code. It's about delivery. I've worked with devs who are incompetent. I've worked with devs who write wild code for simple tasks.
