I see humor in thinking if my code is pessimistic enough. Have I assumed that the edge cases will happen and worked around them? Do I expect (and handle) crashes, i/o failures, network timeouts, etc?
"code pessimism" could be an interesting metric.
The typo in the other post was "superb owl" which should have been "super bowl". Several people on that thread enjoyed the typo, including a comment from CostalCoder saying "Please, please do not correct that typo!"
