Re: "producing, testing and documenting code."

"I toil away on producing, testing and documenting code."

There's the problem then (or two of them).

See, testing in the 21st century is a job for customers, and documenting is a rather 20th-century concept.

On x86 boxes, unexpected system behaviour can typically be blamed on Windows defects, or hardware defects, or both, in a marvellous game where everyone blames someone else and no one is ever held accountable.

It's harder to blame Windows on a box that doesn't (can't) run Windows.
