Is ALL code important?
Few
days ago I saw same ordinary scene on street while going to work that
got me thinking... about code off course :) Car driver was complaining
to parking service employee about a parking ticket he has just
received. He said that he was late for only 15 minutes (parking ticked
is valid for 2 hours and drivers are notified with SMS 15 minutes
before expiration). At the first moment I taught that 15 minutes isn't
that much of a big deal, but then I started thinking what about 20
minutes? Still OK? And 30 minutes? Too much?
The real question
is where to draw the line? Because we obviously can't do this, the
right answer is that there should be no tolerance. OK maybe 60 seconds
:)
