Never fix one bug when refactoring the entire module could bag you 50 more bugs.
Corollary: Always try and get your manager to bonus you on the number of bugs you fix.

You are such a good employer. CP devs, ask for bonus. We promise we will flood the sugs and bugs forum.

Oh no! Do we really need the whole bible?

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Productivity is inversely proportional to the amount of time spent in meetings.
The most difficult bugs to find are always in the "simplest" code.
The longer it takes to explain your code the more likely it is that you don't understand it.

If you're not part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.

Oh, this should be an easy project. That is until you find out all of the requirements.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
|
|
|
|
|
And you will never know all the requirements.
|
|
|

Requirements are top secrete, no one is allowed to truly know them all. Even the requester isn't allowed to know what they seek.

I don't know why you're required to secrete out of your top....

If you announce to the universe that you are currently swamped with working on the next release, the universe (or a client) will find an annoying bug in the current release for you to fix that has been escalated to upper management and must be fixed NOW!
Yeah, this one happened to me yesterday.

Happens to me every week.

Once you have added your client's most recent "feature" requested, he (or she) will invariably say, "Well if you can do that..".
The more clueless your client is about programming the more he thinks he (or she) knows, and tries to help you out.

Any one use the word "just", don't stop. Run as fast as you can.
"Just a little change" or "Just do it".
