“All programmers are optimists. Perhaps this modern sorcery especially attracts those who believe in happy endings and fairy godmothers. Perhaps the hundreds of nitty frustrations drive away all but those who habitually focus on the end goal.

But however the selection process works,the result is indisputable: "This time it will surely run," or "I just found the last bug."”
Frederick Brooks
