Going through old blog entries, and wanted to resurrect this:
From TechRepublic:
Law #1 - Everyone makes mistakes.
Law #2 - Not all mistakes are bad mistakes.
Law #3 - Mistakes not seen by others are not mistakes.
Law #4 - Ignorance does not excuse your mistakes.
Law #5 - Mistakes occur at the very worst time.
Law #6 - Mistakes beget mistakes.
Law #7 - Mistakes made with computers propagate faster and cause more damage.
Law #8 - Mistakes of inaction are mistakes nonetheless.
Law #9 - Failure to own up to your mistakes is a mistake.
Law #10 - Failing to learn from your mistakes is a mistake.
The original article.
The only one I personally feel can be disputed is law #3. If I create a bug in code, that no one has found but me, and I SHOULD have found because I may not have followed my normal procedures...to me is a mistake.
