• Whether the worst code we've ever seen was somebody's elses or ours is not what's important. We have to own our code, just like we own the responsibility of our kids. We can examine our own stored procedure that been running "just fine" in production for years and make it run 2x faster by day's end, or we can spend forever pointing out flaws in someone elses code and accomplish nothing.

    "Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Instead, seek what they sought." - Matsuo Basho
