Programmer facts of life (written by a “user”)

Bad things happen. Learn from them so you don’t need to fix the same problem twice.

Every option you provide just makes the software more complicated.

Every time you change something - you break something else.

If I can find where to change an option - I will change it.

If I can’t find where to change an option - I can’t change it.

If it’s working - leave it alone.

If you didn’t want me to “run it”, then why did you put it on my menu?

I’m always telling you to “document it”. You’re always telling me to “read the documentation.”

Of course I did that. I couldn’t find you, so what did you expect me to do?

The more you change something - the worse it becomes.

You always want me to tell you about “glitches.” If I have a “work-around, why should I?
