Coworker: Hey, John. How’s that code going?
Me: Well, it’s looking pretty good. I just fixed the last bug we know about … And you know what that means, right?
Coworker: It’s done?
Me: Well, no … Not quite.
Coworker: What’s it mean, then?
Me: It means there’s a lot we don’t know.

Now, there’s something any programmer can sympathize with!
