Good code, Bad code

Code is just code, until bugs appear.

Then we label it “bad code”.

Bugs are fixed.

The new fixed code is no longer just code

It is labeled “good code”.

Good code isn’t appreciated without bugs.

Engineers writing good code are good engineers.

But only because of bugs.

For if it weren’t for bugs,

Code would be just code,

and engineers would be just engineers.

Therefore good code needs bugs to be good.

And so do engineers.

It is a symbiotic relationship.

One must not detest bugs,

as this creates a hostile environment,

raising anxiety and stress

and leading to unwise decisions

that one might regret.

For a change, approach bugs knowing

that you can’t be you without them.
