Ideally you can do that, but even the most well designed software ends up needing a larger refactor/reorganization that will touch a large portion of the code base.

My boss likes to say "you aren't qualified to design something until you have built it once" which I do feel rings true. This inevitably leads to at least one major redesign for a significant codebase.

I think the first I used was Fedora Core 5, but the first I installed myself was Fedora Core 6.

Even in the hands of experts they can be dangerous. One of the most respected programmers at my company wrote an implementation of memory that had an off by one error when bit indexing for alignment checking.

Everything worked fine until you had 16-bit relatively aligned src and dest and happened to be targeting uncached memory.

They take your money in 5 seconds, but give it back in "5 to 7 business days".

This is the thing that pisses me off most. After spending hours arguing when they finally relent it will be "up to 30 business days before you see your refund". I had one company take 120 days to refund my money when my venue had to be cancelled during COVID, money that I had to pay the moment I booked.
