“Professional developers are so certain of their code and tests that they are maddeningly casual about making random, opportunistic changes. They'll change the name of a class, on a whim. They'll notice a long-ish method while reading through a module and repartition it as a matter of course They'll transform a switch statement into polymorphic deployment, or collapse an inheritance hierarchy into a chain-of-command.

We went over to White Zombie’s tour manager and said, ‘This guy was booing us and that’s one thing, but now he’s booing The Ramones, and if you boo The Ramones you’re booing rock ‘n’ roll.’ So the tour manager went and plucked this kid out of the audience and kicked him out of the show for booing The Ramones. The poor kid had to wait in the cold without his jacket on and wait for his mommy to come and get him, all because he didn’t realize what he was doing. Monte:”
