Being a wee, humble programmer working on a comparativly small project like BiQ, it is somehow comforting to read a Blizzard programmer publically state about a feature he did on World of Warcraft:

[…]I had to implement that. I probably screwed it up somehow[…]

Makes me feel not so bad for introducing the bugs I do, and it’s an archtypical example of the defenses developers usually set up when talking about their works.
