Boy is this ever a dumb idea!

The way we work and expect our machines to work is in paralel creating a technology to allow programmers to get away with sloppy code is really bad.

Ever since computers have gained in speed, memory and capability, sloppy coding has been the norm. For god's sake, just look at Microsoft's crap.
