Something is broken.. I know it..

An old phrase that's stuck with me over the years, although I forget where I heard it:

I like it when my code works first time. It's like Christmas, but less often.
I've had this with Rust once, t'was a weird feeling.
- I have that with Rust quite frequently. At least a lot more often than with any other language. I love it!
  
  I think it's just because rust doesn't let you make many of the mistakes that'd normally lead to runtime errors
  
  Pair that with rustcheck in your ide and the only errors you'll see will be ones you define yourself
i start everything i do w chatgpt and it's twice given me a dummy function/method that immediately worked and this was my reaction both times. lol

it shipped both times and not even the senior guys caught it in any of the peer reviews before it reached the clients; it's been almost a year for the first one and they're still happy w it. 🤷
- That's called dumb luck.
  
  I mean, chatgpt can easily create basic code without issues.
  
  But as soon as you desire something more it might fall apart and then there is where dumb luck comes in.
  
  very much so and it's painted my impression of the people who have SO MUCH more experience and talent than i do; since they're expected to catch & correct it.
  
  it's also helped me immensely when i pointed out to them that they missed its implicit insecurity after our peer reviews and i'm know that it pissed some of them off.
