The words I use to describe writing code: “Meep Mopping.”
It’s my way of describing the black magic that happens when you’re head-down, meep mopping away, then, voila: something real is born! Code becomes a software product. Something that others can interact with…. Even “oohhhh” and “ahhhh” at.

One of the most painful steps in the development process is testing (finding bugs and squishing them/eating them).

Think about it this way: when you write an email to someone, it’s hard to find your own typos, right? Your eyes and brain correct the typo for you when you review your text before sending it – after all, you know what it’s “supposed” to say. Now, imagine how daunting testing an app would feel after you’ve downed a million Diet Cokes in front of your computer screen…

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could toss it out to a virtual army of testers?
