Development vs Maintenance project
I am in a maintenence project. And I am tired of killing bugs. And they are so resistant, just like cockroaches. Now I know why they are called bugs.
And that gets me thinking. I don't want to kill them. Poor creatures.
If only I was in a development project. Then I wouldn't have to kill them. And that would have been easy on my soul.
And moreover I could create them!
Look at it it this way- I am creating something which is alive, and would live probably as long as the software lives, probably even after I am gone. That's a legacy I would have left.
And I would be doing the same thing which God did with creatures, and nowadays scientists are trying to do with cloning. Creation! I would be playing God in my small way. Create Bugs, and feel like a God; kill bugs and feel like a sinner.
The choice is yours. The boundaries are drawn.
Where do you want to be - in development or maintenence?
