It's absolutely ok to talk to your cat. Those who laugh about that just have not met the right cat yet[^].
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Well, Dij thinks he's a 17 foot long tiger, so ...
But I still wouldn't argue with that one!

My wife is unbelievably superstitious and hates cats on general principals. Particularly black cats with green eyes.
One crossed her path while she was driving to work the other day and now she blames everything that doesn't go her way (hurricanes, spilled milk, etc.), on that.
I grew up with a cat who would sit in the kitchen window, looking out, and ignore us. One day my sister went to pet him, and he was stone cold dead. She had hysterics, and we never got another cat.
wishy washy on cats...

When you're writing code and you're like, we'll I'll just try this... 
Write a bunch of code, add a function, etc. Ok, let's try it out...
...then it works!!! What!?!
This is why I'll always enjoy software development. Because, every once in a while, I get something to work. 
It's just enough that it keeps leading me on to keep on going.

Of course, it's usually the opposite, at least for me.
This'll fix it.

 WTF!!

Silly you!
You forgot to add new tests to cover that code.
Try it now.

Yes, yes, forgot. That's the ticket. Forgot the tests.

That quite possibly, is more help than we were given when first introduced to c++ templates at uni.

The old STL error messages were impressive! (and indecipherable)
|

I really really wish I didn't feel the full empathetic shock of identifying with your statement! Inside my bones, even!

I don't feel it in my bones until it happens after the second fix, when my mouse gets slammed violently.

I've been finalizing a complete revamp of my Windows wrapper, which means four articles to make cohesive with each other, and several example programs which use the same code base. All of the programs are working correctly, and then I tried a feature that I know had worked in the past in one of the programs and I got an error message! Had to spend an hour to figure things out again! Uugh! Almost a mouse slam!

Be afraid! Be very afraid!
There must be a HUGE error lurking underneath. Remember the opening scene from Jaws

That's not a bad idea. But, I also will be careful of lightning strikes.

but once I finally get it to work, I spend the next week second guessing myself if what I just did is a cob job, or a another example of very fine software engineering at its best.
