That's even worse than failing!! We all know that making a perfect code at the first attempt is impossible so there has to be some kind of advanced, tricky-alien bug which is invisible till you show the code to someone else!

Well, as an electrician, it is similar to programming. When a complicated, important piece of circuitry work the first time, the tension is taken from your shoulders, and you just kind of sit there thinking about what it took to get to where you are. I was recently working on a control circuit for a light display. It was composed of hundreds of wires and took weeks to make. When I was done, and found out it worked, first try, I was amazed. I just sat there staring at the wall of wires that made up the project. I just asked myself "how the heck did I get this right?"

When a programmer's code runs, he says WHY?? And when his code don't run, he is again going to say why?

When my code runs in first attempt. I check all scenario's. As developer I like to chase with error.
