In 10 years (if you don't stop working in the industry first) you will look back on this and realize how green you are.

- working wins, always. How many people do you know who drive cars but can't change their oil. The only people who care about the code, are engineers, and business people when it costs them money.

- You found a blind spot after you were done, but there was NO means to get the changes needed into your code. That says your code isn't as good as you think it is.

- Realize that though you can write code you don't know what good engineering looks like, if your going to whine about it, find another industry.
