Debugging real life

[perial]

As a programmer, I have a highly developed talent for figuring out ways code can go wrong. Corner case arguments? Weird combinations? Illegal uses? Gotta find them all, and make sure they don't break the system. Gotta think of every way things can go south

I know what you mean

I'd never thought this was a result of being a programmer, but I'm definitely great at spotting how it could all crash and burn, too.
Interesting. I have to think more about this.

I've noticed a couple other possible side effects, such as a tendency towards wanting to correct writing errors and automatically following the rules. Though the latter could also be a gamer effect.

Well, I'm not a programmer, but I tend to want to correct writing mistakes as well and get things into some order. The latter might be a librarian thing. ;) We like order and systems.

I don't think there is an easy answer to turning off the debugger; it will take time and a consious effort to change the way you look at things and life.

I'll have to ponder that.

Or at least get back into swordfighting.

Indeed. There`s probably going to be more groups in Germany then in Denmark, right?
