Reliable code: building in robustness
Submitted by John Locke on Sat, 01/19/2008 - 05:08Ok. Last post on the quality code series. One of the downsides of getting older is realizing you do have shortcomings. You know how when you're young, going into a job interview, the toughest question is the one about your weaknesses? We're all quite blind to our weaknesses, until experience comes up and forces you to realize you're not perfect. Sometimes this happens early, sometimes late, but it happens to everyone sometime.
My coding weakness, it turns out, is reliability. I'm terrible at handling errors, building test frameworks, doing unit testing.
