Nor really on topic but your choice of name makes me wonder if you are a Stephen R. Donaldson fan?
During one spot of gainful employment, I spent most of my time on the hardware side but did, for my sins, manage a couple of software projects. The Peter principle at it's worst. I was a hardware guy not a cat herder so why put me in charge of a coding project?
Testing took more time than coding even when we tried to follow what were considered best practices at that time. One was a real time control project which led me to learn more than I ever wanted to know about race conditions -- I started to twitch when mutex, lock, critical section and a few other phrases came up in the conversation with the real programmers.
