Because sometime we all are morrons.
The #1 quality of a programmer is to write correct code. If he/she acts
as if he/she is a moron, he/she will write code that acts like a moron.
Simple as that.
Programs worth writing are complex enough that there is no way any of us
can write them perfectly correct code on first draft. There is always
going to be some polishing, and maybe even /a lot/ of polishing, and
perhaps some complete tear downs and rebuilds from time to time. "Build
one to throw away; you will anyways." If you tell me that you can
always write correct code the first time and you never need to go back
and fix anything when you do testing (you do test right?) then I will
have a hard time taking you seriously.
Testing is the main part of my development. Furthermore, I use
assertions all over the place.
Well, if you write correct code, you don't need assertion. They will
always be true because your code is correct. Stop wasting your time with
that. Remeber the #1 quality of a programmer : write correct code.
See how stupid this becomes ?
You miss the point. Testing and assertions are part of how I write
correct code.
