This article makes a solid case. The worst kinds of bugs in software are not the most obvious ones like syntax errors, they are the ones where the code appears to be working correctly, until some users do something slightly unusual after a few weeks of some code change being deployed and it breaks spectacularly but the bug only affects a small fraction of users so developers cannot reproduce the issue... And the cose change happened such time ago that the guilty code isn't even suspected.


Thanks, I appreciate the positive feedback.
