Part of QA's job is to find mistakes.  Their view is "Zero flaws = good 
product."  They also have (or should have) a set of (sometimes written) 
guidelines by which they consistently follow that gets code into that final 
"good product" state.  Each person should consistently try to improve 
themselves and assume they aren't perfect.  No one likes having their mistakes 
pointed out to them and programmers are especially LAZY when it comes to fixing 
their code.  What I do is take the mistakes that get pointed out to me, 
initially balk at the idea I did something wrong, then immediately switch gears 
and think maybe I did something wrong, then I attempt to go fix whatever is 
wrong (which inevitably breaks two 
more things).  Wash, rinse, repeat.  It is a work in progress to eliminate the 
"balking" phase.

In this case, have you tried joyfully fixing the "mistakes" instead of 
complaining about it?  Mistakes are inevitable - programmers see the trees, QA 
should be viewing the forest.  Plus you have to work with these people.  And 
they ARE people after all.  And they are trying to work with you too.

I'm in agreement here. I go way out of my way to make sure my code doesn't have 
a bug. It might seem a waste of time, but what I do is whenever I write a new 
function, is I compile and run to see if I can find any problems. If it's 
broken, it usually takes me five to thirty minutes to make sure it's fixed. if 
it still gets kicked back from my Testers, then I have a good clue as to where 
the problem might be at.
