Technical Advise Week #33 - Over-the-Edge

Have you ever wondered why people hang on so strongly to things that only a slight moment ago we were so quick to cast aside. Some would argue that this is the direct result of moving away from our safety zone, whereas others would contend that it's man's (or woman or pug...) nature to complain. Yes complain, not with cause but because it is so much easier to take the negative then to employ the positive. Yet... why is that when tests are built, or special efforts are exercised to do stellar development, that we turn a blind eye to preventative steps or negative testing (a trait for the purpose of bullet proofing an application)? We guess we would complain and deduce it's laziness, legitimized by time, than a concerted effort to do right engineering. So what do you think? Why do we over produce tests and work that has low yield yet turn a blind eye to potentially rich opportunities? Let us know.
We want to also give you a head's up that we will be quiet for the next three weeks but will return with lots of exciting news. So don't turn away... we will be back very very soon. - Mabel & Max
