			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wish to pose a question to the masses, particularly to other available software developers. Take this statement:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The more screwed up the process, the longer you have a job.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>How does that make you feel? Does it bother or amuse you? Would you feel uncomfortable hearing it from a coworker? A boss? When does the statement cross the line, if ever? As a programmer, you strive to produce the best product possible.  When is there a &#8220;good enough&#8221; point? If something is broken, but acceptable, is that ethically capable of being released? Is a project that has no (unit, acceptance, ui, etc.) testing capable of release?</p>
<p>Let me know in the comments.</p>
<p>(PS: wrote this post from my Motorola Droid, which I&#8217;m having an absolute blast with)</p>
