optimism
n.
What a programmer is full of after fixing the last bug and before
discovering the next last bug. Fred Brooks's book The Mythical Man-Month
(See Brooks's Law) contains the following paragraph that describes this
extremely well:
All programmers are optimists. Perhaps this modern sorcery especially
attracts those who believe in happy endings and fairy godmothers.
Perhaps the hundreds of nitty frustrations drive away all but those who
habitually focus on the end goal. Perhaps it is merely that computers
are young, programmers are younger, and the young are always optimists.
But however the selection process works, the result is indisputable:
?This time it will surely run,? or ?I just found the last bug.?.
