An "odd event" is different from a program going "bang." I would be
willing to bet that you don't do range checking on all of the data that
you input from disk or a database.

You'd lose that bet, but I admit that I'm unusual.

I'm proud of the number of systems that I've given away to lesser (or
no) programmers as no further maintenance was required. A couple of
times, that meant that I had to find a new job, but most of the time
I've been grabbed up by a different division.

Two companies have paid me in 20 years (excepting a serious misfit I
stumbled upon between the two). Anyone who can claim similar will
almost assuredly have similar requirements (and accomplishments) to
mine.
