Of bugs and gory

Spent the day checking, checking, and hunting bugs. The Application does work, but if you were to liken it to a house, then it'd be ... Look there! An ant! Look there! A few cockroaches! It's always times like this where this sense of hopelessness comes in... So many bugs.. Tucked everywhere... Fix one, find another two... How do those professional systems get released? But then again, all systems have bugs. :P
Had a revelation on Tues while with Ad. The lectures teaches us, in software engineering, that many projects are delivered late, due to wrongful interpretations of specs. After some experience, I'd be more inclined to say (at least for gov projects) that the bulk of the delays are at client side. Ppl squeezing vendors, but sitting on their asses when they are supposed to input. But that's government for you... Haiz
