Time to wheel out an old quote!

As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasn't as 
easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered. I 
can remember the exact instant when I realized that a large part of my life 
from then on was going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs.
Maurice Wilkes discovers debugging, 1949 [specific citation needed]
Since 1949, we have interactive debuggers, unit testing, fancy ways to prove 
certain blocks of code are correct - but yet not much seems to have changed :-)
