A little neglect may breed mischief ...

Ever had an argue with developer over small defect. Which they don't consider as defect or issue and you felt that its important as per customer's perspective.

I was just watching a holly wood movie "The Fast & The Furious" Aka "Tokyo Drift" and the mafia boss in that movie says one Japanese proverbs. Don't really recall exact words but has following meaning.

For want of a nail, the shoe was lost;

For want of a shoe, the horse was lost;

For want of a horse, the rider was lost;

For want of a rider, the message was lost;

For want of a message the battle was lost;

For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost;

And all for want of a nail. . .

Same will be applicable for the Software defect. Defect might seems like a nail but you may ending up loosing kingdom here its whole software. :P


P.S. Fighting with Cheater in day time....leads me to write this down. It's really fun to fight though i know i never going to win.... :p
